Need to figure out how to get a font (or other shape) to CNC properly inside and out to fit into itself, i.e. method to know that shape has no radius smaller than the bit.

  • make hersheyfont
  • make line thicknes = bit * 2.1 (2 to be exact, add .1 to have some space)
  • use rounded joins and caps
  • stroke to path
  • new path strokestyle, round join and cap, width of bit
  • fix distances of letters
  • redo stroke to path
  • break apart, delete, recombine as necessary
  • fix/tweak

dead ends

  • downloaded CamBam to see if it can do such things
