So bottom line is that if you want to do cutting/routing, you'll have to sit at whatever computer has the software installed on it to design the vector stuff - but for shallow (0.8') carving, you can work on your own machine with GIMP/Photoshop/whatever and then just import the image into their software and write to the memory card.Eligible For Free Shipping Features & Details The ONLY import mechanism is for image files (PNG would be best) - and that only allows for carving - not cutting. Without the additional DXF or STL import software (which I guess we don't have), you have to use non-free software to generate the design as vector and raster data. You have to write the design onto a memory card (which is DRM'ed so you have to buy it from CarveWright) and stick it into the machine for cutting. (Our laser cutter treats black as 'maximum laser power' and white as 'no laser power'). The raster format is (annoyingly) the opposite of the laser cutter - the CarveWright treats Black as 'no cutting' and White as 'cut 0.8 inches deep' with intermediate grey shades as proportionately less cutting. You can then drag the image around, resize it, etc. Click on the image file you want and drag it into the main window.

Once you've done that, you can use the blue seashell icon (the 'Pattern' tool) and browse down into Favorites to find the image that you saved. You'll then be invited to save the image into a 'Favorites' folder. To import a raster image, use File/Import/Import Image File to choose the file and adjust the clipping and 'depth' of cutting. The 'Auto' selection doesn't seem to work. If that happens then you'll need to use the Edit/Preferences./3D Graphics dialog and check the 'Off' button under Hardware Acceleration. If your computer doesn't have a decent graphics chip, you'll find that the 3D rendering in the main window will be screwed up.

You can download a 30 day free trial of the Product Designer package from - but you can't drive the machine with that trial version. Raster data can be imported into the basic package in several image file formats. ATX Hackerspace owns a copy of the Project Designer - but none of the plugins. That software cannot import any vector or polygonal formats (DXF, STL) without further add-ons, which cost $200 per additional file format. The only software available for the CarveWright is the 'CarveWright Project Designer' - which costs $200.
