ARTISTIC 3D DESIGN TOOLS
Carveco™ software’s 3D design tools are unique in both their power and ease-of-use. A wide variety of intuitive tools enable you to quickly craft beautifully detailed 3D pieces using flexible starting points. Intricate 3D designs can be created from scratch, built from pre-drawn vector artwork or assembled from imported triangle or surface models.
3D DESIGN: TOOLS & FEATURES
3D RELIEF LAYERS

Interactive relief layers enable you to structure your design and control how different 3D elements interact with one another.
IMPORT OPTIONS
![](https://cadcamthai.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/file-types3-300x140.png)
Import a range of 2D and 3D file types including BMP, JPEG, TIFF, EPS, AI, DXF, DWG, STL, OBJ, IGES, 3DM and more.
COMPOSITE RELIEF
![](https://cadcamthai.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/composite-relief.png)
Save composite reliefs or add them to your own 3D clipart library for easy re-use in other designs and projects.
RELIEF EMBOSSING
![](https://cadcamthai.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/relief-embossing-300x140.png)
Emboss reliefs onto 3D models or transform into an embossed
low-relief with additional perspective controls.
ORGANIC SCULPTING

Carveco’s Sculpting tools enable you to easily build and blend areas of your artwork to give it a hand-crafted look and feel.
CREATING TEXTURES
![](https://cadcamthai.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/texture-300x140.png)
Generate geometric patterns and organic textures directly from your artwork or from the geometry of the cutting tool itself.
TEXTURE FLOW

Carveco’s Texture Flow tool sweeps textures along or around a vector to create fully-controllable, organic and natural effects.
WEAVE TOOL
![](https://cadcamthai.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/relief-embossing-300x140.png)
Use overlapping vector patterns to automatically create a weaved relief, where intersecting vectors pass over or under each other.
3D FACE PROFILES
![](https://cadcamthai.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/face-wizard2-300x140.png)
Using an imported photo, easily create a 3D face profile to add to your designs.
FADE RELIEF
![](https://cadcamthai.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/fade-relief.gif)
Dynamically fade the height of your relief artwork across a linear plane, radial plane or between boundaries.
SMOOTH RELIEF
![](https://cadcamthai.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/smooth-relief-300x140.png)
Perform global smoothing passes to relief layers in order to clean up low-quality imported models and shapes.
VECTOR SHADOW
![](https://cadcamthai.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/vector-shadow.png)
Create shadow projections on your reliefs to give the illusion of 3D within 2D designs.
LATENT IMAGE
![](https://cadcamthai.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/latent-image.gif)
Produce a 3D design that changes when viewed from different angles.
ANGLED PLANE
![](https://cadcamthai.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/angled-plane.png)
Use interactive drag-handles to dynamically adjust the plane of a relief in real-time.
SCALE RELIEF
![](https://cadcamthai.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/relief-scaling2.gif)
Dynamically scale Z heights of your entire relief, or specific vector-defined areas of your artwork, all while preserving surface detail.
EXTRUDE, SPIN & TURN
![](https://cadcamthai.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/spin-tool.gif)
Use dynamically controlled drive-rails to create unique spun shapes with Z-level modulation.
Machine it right,
first time.
