Identification, use of the engraving tool
Sculpture commonly used tool is divided into four categories: flat sharp knife, straight knife (column knife), milling, three-dimensional special-shaped knife.
Carving knives, built by the Wentai engraving software, click the "2D" "3D" cut "any one of the three options to complete the tool library; tool library in the center of a sharp knife" is a very idealized tool , under normal circumstances do not use it to calculate the tool path.
1, flat dagger W1,: said tool shank diameter, the shank diameter of ∮ 3.175, ∮ ∮ 6
Set according to need.
W2: tip width, it directly affects the carving effect, set to be as accurate as possible, can take the ruler of a high precision point roughly reference.
A: The angle between two edges of the tip portion of the half, if the tool is 30 °, then A is set to 15, and so on.
Can carving material: two-color board, PVC board, plexiglass, ABS board.
Can be cut into the material: two-color board, ABS board.
The principle of a knife: carving small print W2 or point knife, large print, as far as possible with a machete in order to improve the processing speed; tool to select the narrowest strokes prevail; when necessary, under the premise does not affect the font effect, the available nodes edit strokes in order to facilitate the sword path; engraving badges commonly used 30 ° tool; if the word is too small can be replaced with single-line "cutting" count path.
2, straight knife (column knife) W1: front-end width of the tool blade, the width of 2MM, 1.5MM, generally set a little smaller, because the front end to facilitate chip removal, repair grind the side of the blade, so The actual width is smaller.
H1: The tool edge Minister degrees, the material cutting height should be lower than the edge of the Minister of degree, the general H1 can be set to 5MM or so.
Can carving material: two-color board, PVC board, plexiglass, ABS board.
Can be cut into the material: two-color board, ABS board.
Kinds of cutting tools used for the characters carved on the licensing department, it is also known as the licensing department knife, but the carving effect is slightly inferior to the equivalent width of the flat dagger. It cut out the edges of the material for a straight edge, a bevel edges and flat sharp knife cut out the material, the degree of tilt depending on the tool angle, angle, edge gradient on.
3, W1, cutter: the width of the tool front-end, the shank diameter ∮ 3.175 ∮ 4 ∮ 6; if the cutting of the material thickness is less than 10MM small print, ∮ 3.175 knife cutting word to be deformed, and sometimes also used to the shank diameter from ∮ 3.175 to front-end ∮ 2 or ∮ 1.5 Variable shank tools to cut.
H1: The Blade Minister degrees, cutting material thickness should be less than its edge Minister degrees, the general H1 according to the thickness of the material is divided into the following categories (more than 2mm of the cutting material, to facilitate chip removal).
12mm: cut the 10MM and the following materials
17mm: cut 15MM material
22mm: 20MM Material Cut (PVC multi ∮ 3.175; acrylic ∮ 4)
Can be carved material: PVC board, plexiglass, wood and so on.
Cutting material: PVC board, plexiglass, wood, etc..
Knife principle: do not recommend using a 22mm tool to cut the 10MM and the following materials may lead to the cutting knife; 22mm tool, but also cutting the 20MM materials, temporary use of the 17mm tool, layered cut.
4, three-dimensional profiled knife because such a tool different from our common alloy knife handle material in a direct repair grind required for a variety of carving knives, but ∮ 6 tool holders through a special welding process welding was the heads of various shapes, used directly in a variety of special shape of the engraving process, it is also known as the bulk of the knife.
W1: the diameter of the shank below the bulk of knife, random with 32mm; smaller for cut
Cut a small three-dimensional character.
A: half of the angle of the sides of the tip part of the two, due to the randomly assigned to 90 ° tool, then A is set to 45 (similar to the flat dagger)
W2: tip width, because the specific calculation of the three-dimensional path, the path requires is the knife through it, no longer mean very much, usually located 0.1 or 0.2 can.
The tool uses: 3D clear angle of the word (using the "3D" function to calculate the path) and back carved crystal brand down the hypotenuse.
The other tool dedicated to the milling table, milling the end of the knife; do relief relief tool; do various types of wood care lace lace knife.
