The CNC router machine has been busy cutting more CNC art experiments. The larger face above is 3-1/2 inches wide and the smaller faces are 1-1/2 inches wide.
I wanted to see how small I could make the faces and still be recognizable.
The faces were all done with a staight .045 inch cutting bit.

Now that the CNC Router is complete, I have been experimenting with CNC art. The really cool thing about using a computer and a CNC router to create art is that the end results can be unpredictable and surprising. My first experiment was to take a picture of a tree, convert it to black and white, invert the image and then render it for cutting. I liked the idea of taking a living tree, converting it to ones and zeros, and then cutting the image into a processed wood product (MDF). The cutting path is one continuous spiral starting from the top outer edge.
The computer generated cutting path for a circular tree.
Another experiment was to render a picture of Audrey Hepburn using an x-axis raster technique. The Audrey on the left of the MDF panel was done at a lower line resolution. The panel was spray painted black and then white was added.
