Also dry materials tend to produce a better quality finish then material with high moisture content. In most cases, feathering and chip out will increase as the grain size increases. We have found that hard materials with tight grains produce the best finishes. While we have not tested every conceivable hardwood, we have yet to find one that cannot be used in the CarveWright machine.

Wood The machine can carve the full range of wood types from soft pine to exotic hardwoods. At present, the CarveWright does not carve in metal, ceramic tile, stone, glass or concrete. Any materials outside these families are not to be used with the machine unless explicitly state by CarveWright. The CarveWright can work in most soft materials including wood (even exotic hardwoods), suitable plastic and foam. The larger box (10″ x 13″ x 6″) took 5 hours at BEST quality mode. For comparison, the top of the small jewelry box (8.5″ x 5.5″ x 3.5″) on the Projects/The Results page of the website took one hour to carve in NORMAL quality mode.

The software will estimate total cut time when you upload the project to the memory card. Vector carvings are typically much faster than raster carvings. The path is similar to that of a plotter. A Vector carving is produced when the bit follows a 3-D path generated by the software. The path is similar to that of a dot matrix printer. Raster carvings are produced by making many small passes with the 1/16″ carving bit, building the image one line at a time.
