ENROUTE ADVENTURES: Rapid Texture

WELCOME!

It is hard to believe that it was only seven years ago I witnessed a CNC router in action for the very first time. I was fascinated and simply had to have one! Although I had been in the creative end of the three dimensional sign business for most of my life I didn't really know what I would do with one - but I just knew it could do fantastic stuff.

Through extensive research I quickly found out that with the relative simplicity of EnRoute, CNC routers were capable of just about anything imaginable. This journal will chronicle that journey to date and continue each week with two or three entries as we continue to explore just what is possible with this wonderful software... -dan

Rapid Texture

Rapid Texture is another unique feature of EnRoute software. With this function you can cover a whole lot more surface in a hurry and achieve some very cool surface and textures. It uses the tool shape to create the texture. I have primarily used it to create wainscoting for the MultiCam office and in our new house. The effects and possibilities are truly limitless.

To best show the technique I've decided to go to the video that is on the EnRoute website www.enroutesoftware.com/EnRouteTV11-Videos They have some great tutorial videos there.
