Laser engraving photos with Piranha FX
Posted: Sat Jan 02, 2016 11:15 am
Hello and Happy New Year to all!
I Bought a Piranha FX with the Laser module for myself as a Christmas present for my self. New to all this CNC stuff so I will need lots of help form you good folks on this board, at the same time I would like to apologize in advance for any stupid questions I might have and incorrect terminologies I might use.....
After playing with the machine for a couple of days, I would like to know how to go about using the laser engraver to engrave photos, something like the Elvis that is featured on the product video by nextwave automation on the FX. By using the V carve desktop and import image/ tracing method, after playing with the adjustments I was not able to achieve a detailed enough image ( a picture of my little girl) to engrave. Upon more research, I understand there is actually an additional software by Vetric called "Photo v carve" Is that something I will need to purchase in order to accomplish what I want to do?
Thanks in advance for all your help!!
