Hi, hope that i am in the right category :smile:

I saw this video on youtube , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXsMAyhyAwk ", and they are making a picture with CNC machine by drilling holes with a V shaped milling bit.

Does somebody know what software is capable of making this type of tool path ?

Have you Googled ā€œLithophaneā€?
Try looking at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYDYGDIPteo which shows how to cut a photo into something and to then back-light it. Very cool techniqueā€¦

Seems that the original software is no longer available. I found another software at http://www.halftone.com.br/ which is not free however seems like it does a good job. If anyone knows of a free version that they have tried please let us know. Thanks
