RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] FaceGen software conversion to CNC

I was looking at doing this very same thing. Searching the web I came
across a program that used grey scale to determine various areas in a
scanned photo. Those areas could be pulled from the file and sent to a
graphics program to cleanup. The resulting file could then be sent to a 2D
DXF to CNC path generator to get the actual tool path. I was working with a
non-Microsoft program but have had several crashed and do not have the
program any longer.

Subject: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] FaceGen software conversion to CNC



Has anyone done a conversion to get a photograph of a human face (not a
3D laser scan) into a suitable transfer software program to run on a
CNC machine?
If so, what format did you use and what was the reproductive quality of
the finished item?
Thanks,
George
