Feature Request: Add V-Carving Toolpaths #99

@p3rd1x

Description

@p3rd1x

Please consider adding support for V-carving toolpaths to Makera CAM. This feature would enable users to create:

  • Text engraving with variable stroke widths
  • Decorative inlays using a male and a female part

using a V-bit.

Currently, Makera CAM does not include a dedicated V-carving strategy. The pocket and contour operations are only usable to a limited extend for this use case because they lack the ability to create sharp corners. Additionally it would be practical to have a wizard for this purpose, in which the usual V-Carve values can be set directly, eliminating the need for additional calculations.

V-carving is a standard feature in many CAM tools and would be a valuable addition to Makera CAM. Makera CNC machines are especially suitable for creating such artwork.

Thank you for considering adding this feature.
