Previews for computer numerically controlled fabrication
A method for computer numerically controlled processing may include generating a user interface to enable the configuration of an edge treatment. The user interface may also be generated to enable the configuration of a design corresponding to a combination of the first object and the second object generated by applying one of a plurality of Boolean operation. A computer numerically controlled machine may be configured to deliver an electromagnetic energy in order to effect, in a material, one or more changes corresponding to the edge treatment and/or the design configured by the user. For example, the one or more changes corresponding to the edge treatment may include a variable depth engraving along at least a portion of a perimeter of a material.
