    Harm, there are a couple of topics already on converting bitmaps to models for machining. Search on "bitmap".
    I think there is even a program to convert bitmaps to faceted geometry. Of course,
    you would then need a CAM package that machines facets.

    In order for someone to do it for you, they would need to know what size you want the image, how you want it machined (depth of cut for each color), and what machine you want to machine it on. and the tooling you plan to use.

    I was bored, so I cranked out this rough path in NX...

    Brewmeister,
    thank you for your reply, and sorry for my question because I'm new to cnc and I do not know how to use it well,
    Im trying to learn more to use the cnc machine.
    The thing what I am looking for is:
    f.e. I have a panel 600x400 mm and depth 16 mm (mdf)
    and I what to machine it just (mill) no to cut f.e. 5 mm depth or lower.
    I hope you are understanding me.

    Thank you

    Ok, your image is 2284 x 351 (pixels), so it will obviously have to be scaled to fit.

    If I scale it to 600 wide, the height will be about 92mm.
    So where on the part do you want the image?
    And, is that the right size?

    Which parts of the image do you want machined to 5mm deep?
    Do you want all of the white parts machined?
    Do you want all of the red parts machined?

    What size cutters do you intend to use?
    At that scale, the smallest detail, if you machine the white areas, will be about 1.5mm.

    What type of machine? Make / Model / Controller?
    The format of the G-Code is different for different Machine / Controller combinations.

    Brewmeister, thank you for your reply,
    I want that image to machine in the panel 600mmx400mm and depth of panel is 16 mm
    so i want the white image to be machined 5 mm depth
    the size of cutter is 9 mm
    I have the SCM machine/ tech 80 plus
    I do not know anymore detail what controller etc.....

    thank you

    Ok, here's what it will look like with a 9mm cutter, with the image scaled to 600mm wide...
    Since you did not specify, I assumed the image should be scaled to 600mm wide



    The other areas are too small for a 9mm cutter.
    You will need a cutter 1.5mm or smaller to cut the entire job.

    [ edit ] Also, I can't find any info on the the SCM TEch 80. Do you have a small example program I could look at for reference?

    Here's a short program that cuts just the top of the logo with a 9mm cutter.
    The J-corner (0,0,0) is at the lower-left corner of the image, on top of the material.

    ok, I'm not sure I understand the header. Is the DX, DY, DZ the zero point?
    Also, I don't see where you are setting the 5mm cut depth.
    It looks like Z=2 is the clearance, and DZ=18 could be the clearance above Z0?

    I assume XG0 is a rapid move, and XL2P is a cut move

    Also, the example you posted, I can see the shape of the logo, but the shape is larger than what I can fit in 600mm.

    Anyways, I programmed this with the XYZ zero point at the lower left corner of the "A". Let me know how it works out. This is just the finish profile with a 1.5mm cutter. I also have a rough pocket with a 9mm cutter, and another path that roughs out the corners missed by the 9mm using the 1.5mm.

    ok I will test it tomorrow because now is the night in my Country and I'm not in work,
    dear sir can you tell me how did you do this thing(this code) plz
    thanks again

    Also, I don't see where you are setting the 5mm cut depth.
    It looks like Z=2 is the clearance, and DZ=18 could be the clearance above Z0?

    I assume XG0 is a rapid move, and XL2P is a cut move

    Also, the example you posted, I can see the shape of the logo, but the shape is larger than what I can fit in 600mm.

    Anyways, I programmed this with the XYZ zero point at the lower left corner of the "A". Let me know how it works out. This is just the finish profile with a 1.5mm cutter. I also have a rough pocket with a 9mm cutter, and another path that roughs out the corners missed by the 9mm using the 1.5mm.

    The header is the size of the panel DX= Width, DY= Height, and DZ= Depth, of the panel
    I do not set the depth 5 mm but 2 mm, DZ=18 is the thickens of the panel

    sorry for my bad english

    Your English is fine! It's the machine language that's corn-fusing me.

    I thought the Z=2 was the clearance distance above the part since it was in the rapid move.

    I don't see where the Z changes from the clearance height to the cut depth?
    Or is this pre-set on the machine?

    Anyways, let me know if the path works out, and I'll post the other 2.

    I didn't understand well here

    the program look this


    The panel was 600x600 mm
    and sir if possible to tell me how did you do this thnx so much

    I used NX. I imported your image as a raster image, scaled it to 600mm wide, then drew lines & curves over the letters. Then I create a solid block, and extruded the lines & curves, subtracting them from the body.
    The rest was simple NC machining using a 9mm & 1.5mm tool.
    Then I just modified a 3 axis postprocessor to output the format from your example.

    It looks like your Xilog system uses left hand rule (+Y points down), thus the reason it's inverted. Now I understand the DY-___ from the Y values. You should be able to do a Find/Replace Y= / Y=DY- if you want to invert them.

    Here are all 3 files:

    Thank you Brewmeister again for your help, tomorrow I will test in my machine,
    can you give me a full name of the software because I want to download this soft.

    I have another question,
    can you do a simple drawing with NX software?

    p.s.
