Mike,

There are many different kinds of relief cuts.

If you want to take 2D graphic images and make raised or recessed
letters in flat surfaces, purchase DeskCNC, it has the tracing
capabilities of RasterFratz and can add text and create pocketing
and contouring toolpaths from the traced outlines.

If you want to create the same kind of decorative pieces, but want
the surfaces to be curved, rather than flat, you will need a
combination of RasterFratz or DeskCNC and VectorCad-Cam 3D surface.

If you want to create carved/chiseled lettering and shapes using a V-
tipped cutter, Vfontz or Vcarvz.
