Recommended CNC machine for engraving logos on PVC pipes?
We are new to these processes. We need to engrave PVC pipes with two images-logo and company name. We are looking for recommendations for a engraving machine that has 21/2 inches clearance between engraver drill and the bottom. Also any recommendations on software.
I think if you’re working with pipes, you might want to consider a CNC machine that can rotate about certain axes. Try to look into any 4-axis or 5-axis CNC machines within your budget (they can get pretty pricey).
Also, in terms of software, you should look into Scan2CAD. It’s a nifty program for when you need to convert raster and vector images into standard vector formats. This includes the standard g-code file formats that most CNC machines can read.
