STL & Image Converter
What is it? This program can load a standard STL file, or a Image file (JPG, BMP, PNG, TIF) and output a comma-separated values file (CSV) that contains a 3D toolpath that will trace the surface. What good is that? Well, if you are using Vectric's V-Carve Pro (version 7 or greater) this allows you to read in 3D toolpaths that can be machined using CNC equipment. Normally, V-Carve Pro is restricted to 2D carvings, and 3D work is reserved for their 'flagship' product, Aspire. With the STL + Image Converter, you can do this with VCP, and see the final products with Vectric's famous previews. It can convert to CSV files in a matter of seconds.
This package is a stand-alone executable program, so please do a virus check before running this program. Loading the CSV files into V-Carve Pro will require the CSV Gadget; it is also available (free) on this site under the 'Gadgets' tab. This package also includes some STL files and the manual that describes its use.
This program is provided 'as-is', free of charge. You can use it for commercial or personal use. I do ask that if you use and enjoy the use of this program, please consider making a contribution via PayPal, in the amount of your choosing. Contributions let me know what programs are widely used, and helps me justify their development. Also, please send a note to me via the Contact Me page to let me know who is using this program.
