A carved relief, part 2 of 4: Two bits

The relief's rows in the CNC job: a tapered ball nose to carve, an end mill to rough the waste out in level layers, how far apart the passes are and the ridges they leave, the depth, and the run time. Wider passes are tried, to see what they save, and put back.

A carved relief: the whole project

A relief carved from a depth picture, start to finish in four chapters. The picture is opened in the picture window, carved as a Relief, shaped with Flat background, Fade the edge, Fullness and Depth, and placed; the CNC job roughs it with an end mill and carves it with a tapered ball nose, with the passes, ridges, depth and run time in plain sight. Shape it brings the picture back to turn the head into a mold, a 3D model is added beside it from an STL file, and the simulator carves the whole job and finds nothing to fix.
