Photocarve & Shark laser
Photocarve & Shark laser
I have a Shark HD3 with the laser attachment. I have done several things with Aspire 9 and the results were pretty nice. I also have Photocarve 1.102 and thought it would be cool to photocarve some pictures with the laser. So far, I can't find out how to select the shark laser like I do in Aspire 9. I can still select an engraving bit and select the spindle speed of 1000 ( Laser on) and the feed rate of 40. But it doesn't allow me to select the depth/pressure of .001 inches so I can preview the engraving nor select the post processor = CNCShark-laser (inch) (*.tap) Has anyone else been able to laser with Photocarve?

Re: Photocarve & Shark laser
Lasers don't really work with PhotoVCarve type images as the image is formed from varying widths and depths from what I've seen in previous posts on the subject.

Hi,
The Laser module from next wave has its own software for using the laser with lasering photographs. I've only tested it a couple times. Most of my lasering is done with Vcarve, but I do more graphics and not photos.
