Abstract
Techniques include converting an original or source image into a computer image file that uses guide curves to provide for a cutting of that image onto a surface of a material. One or more techniques comprise a process of converting the image into a computer image file, such as by pixelating or rasterizing the image. The process then controls a CNC knife to cut the surface of the material at different locations, different angles, different depths, and different range of motion, based on the processing of the computer image file, thereby creating the original image, or a very close replica, on the surface of the material. By deviating the cut lines from each other, the intensity of the image can be varied.
