Unit: [mm] or [inch] measurement
Size of Project is the carving size that you wish to appear on your
workpiece. The boxes represent X/Y/Z = width/length/depth of cut.
When you input a number in X, Y will be set automatically according to
the ratio of your image. Similarly, when you input a number in Y, X will
be set automatically. The maximum allowable dimensions are
X=
13”(330.2mm), or Y=18”(457.2mm) and Z=3”(76.2mm). The intel-
liCarve will not operate with values greater than these.
Warning: Make sure your work piece is thicker than the dimension
you set for the Z-axis otherwise machine damage will occur. Use
a sacrificial board if cutting through your work piece is required.
Invert light / dark area is to invert concave and convex. When a
grayscale image is uploaded, I-Picture defines the darker area as the
deeper depth of cut, whereas the lighter area as the shallower depth of
cut. Invert will reverse this which is handy for working with lithophanes.
Scan step is the distance the Y axis moves on every carving along the
X axis. The lower number the Scan step is, the more detailed your
image will be but the longer it will take to produce. Default is 0.2 (mm).

Feed Depth per Cycle is the depth of cut (Z axis) per cycle. The default is set to be 24mm, but it is adjustable.
For example: when Z is 10mm and Feed Depth per Cycle is 24mm, the cutter will carve the workpiece in a
single pass. Conversely, when Z is 10mm and Feed Depth per Cycle is 5mm, the cutter will carve the work-
piece twice (2 passes) in order to meet Z depth (per cycle= 5mm; two cycles = 10mm).
