Use bevel-carving toolpaths to replicate a bevelled look for your selected vector artwork. The angle of the bevelled edge is determined by the angle of the carving tool.
To create a bevel-carving toolpath, you must use two types of tool:
- An angled-edge carving tool to create the bevelled edge; and
- A profiling tool to create the vertical wall below the bevelled edge.
Warning: You cannot machine a bevel-carving toolpath without using a 3-axis machine. For more information, consult a member of staff or your machine-tool supplier.
Click the
Create Bevel Carving Toolpath
button on the
Toolpaths panel to display the
Bevel Carving panel. Use the
Bevel Carving panel to:
- choose whether or not you want to create a vertical wall in the bevel carving;
- control the height of the angled edge in the bevel carving; and
- control the cutting direction of the tool.
After you have calculated the toolpath, you can simulate it.
