PhotoToMesh ($99) is a standalone Windows application which creates 3D meshes from photographs and other images. The meshes can be saved as DXF files or StereoLithographic files (STL and STLB). You get immediate visual feedback as you change the parameters. Here are some screen shots from the new version: The top half of the screen contains the settings while the bottom half contains two images. The left-hand image is your original artwork or photograph, the right-hand image shows how the mesh which has been created using that photograph (using a heightfield surface).
Of course you can use any sort of image, for example an abstract mandala design as shown above. Or a simple logo, as show below:
PhotoToMesh can be used to create millable signs from simple black and white graphics. The simple but effective controls allow you to control the height and smoothness of the DXF mesh. If you want to see if your CAD or CAM program is compatible with the meshes produced by this program go to this mesh sample page. If you have any questions as a result please contact us. |
