2D / 2.5D / 3D

• First, take a look at the image below.

• ​Using a flat-ended blade, such as the first, third, fifth, eighth, and ninth blades on the Angled Blades page, to dig out a flat-bottomed shape or cut out a regular shape is the most common method of 2D or 2.5D machining.

• Machining like the one described on the Angled Edge Machining page is called angled edge machining or engraving (engraving).

• Finally, if you have a curved surface, machining with a blade with a rounded tip, such as the 4th, 6th, and 10th blades on the Angled Blades page, is known as curved machining or 3D machining.
