is ther a way to control the overall dimensions ?
Announcing BMP Bender 3D Software. This is a free version, still in beta. It converts bitmap images to an stl file that you can then machine. This concept is not new, but I believe our results are. Check out our video on youtube for a tutorial. Download this software and use it for free while beta lasts and tell us what you think at http://www.twmessenger.com/index_files/Software.htm

Not currently at this stage of development. But In upcoming versions Yes
to convert your STL file to g-code what do you suggest.STL files are new to me.

Until I get the GCode functionality built in, I would suggest Vectric. They have an awsome program called Cut3D. In fact, I use it myself, and will until I get my set of apps complete. They are a great bunch of guys.
Out of curiosity, what file formats are you use to working with?

looking forward to the beta release with scaling and g-code implemented .

StlWork2.
Generates GCode - it slices or Slabs for projects too "deep" for your Zaxis too.
IMServ
Not associated - just like it and its good value - usually comes bundled with a translator program too - AccuTrans.

Experience is the BEST Teacher. Is that why it usually arrives in a shower of sparks, flash of light, loud bang, a cloud of smoke, AND -- a BILL to pay? You usually get it -- just after you need it.
Hey guys. I am still a ways a way from the g code portion, but I am making good progress. Among many other features planned, will be the ability to import ascii and binary stl (done), and wavefront .obj, and .3ds files so that toolpaths can be created from them. Will give you updates as I get closer.
Thanks,
Thomas
Fantastic! I cant wait to see/try it out
