no closed paths – such that these paths can be used by a CNC or engraving tool, with the line width set by the cutting tool itself. I have designed a typeface using only single strokes – ie. I just used a trick I've used before on your fonts. The following tip from Davek on the CamBam Forum: When they really don't have an inside and outside loop. All the fonts areīuilt using a 100% overlap in the font design, which tricks my TrueTypeįont design program into thinking they are really looped TrueType fonts, Having them appear to be a truly single line font. It's kind of a double edged sword, needing to have theįonts be able to install themselves under windows as TrueType, and still
Makes it come out very clean and smooth on 6061 T6 aluminum that I am IĪlso use a very small "bull nose" end mill to do the engraving. I do a lot of very small sized, 1/4 inch and less, andĪlways look at the finished cut magnified to see how clean it is. Sure what this is caused from, but it does not seem to make anyĭifference as it has no effect on the resulting G-Code.īoth ways over each of the letters, gives me a nice clean lookingįinished letter.
There will be an error that says, "Error setting new poly start" not In CamBam, when you product the "G-Code" They willĪuto install, and because of the name I gave them, will appear at the Unzip them and drag andĭrop them individually into your C:\Windows\Fonts\ directory. No matter what size you engrave, even if they are 12 inches high! Your cutter will go overĮach letter twice, once in each direction, and exactly on the same path Them they will truly cut in a single line. There will not be any separation of the letter elements. I have a set of 9 fonts that behave like they are TTF butĪre truly a single line font set. I have developed and tested what i think may be the answer, at least for CamBamĮngraving. What is needed is a set of TTF type fonts that will load into the C:\windows\fonts\ directory. Single Line Stick Type TTF Fonts For CNC EngravingĪSCII Characters include all of the alphabet, upper and lower case plusĬamBam Stick Font 9 does include the missing ones above.įor quite a while I have been following the search for "Real" "Single Line Fonts" that are usable in CamBam and other CAD/CAM software.
