Signs Abundance Software

No Judgement

I am making CNC live edge tables and I think this could be a great place for the Maslow CNC and abundance software; perhaps a couple of enhancements.

What I currently do, is use a template to hand trace the shape of the lake or other design, marking the different depths and then hand route them out. I then fill the cutout with the different colors of epoxy up to the line of the depth. Once the epoxy fully cures, I hand sand it and then add a top coat.

It would be extremely cool to have a camera capture the shape and size of the live edge wood and allow me to position the cutout onto the shape at a predetermined location and cut out the shape, ignoring the rest of the wood. It would also be cool if I could program the different depths into the cutout, so the router could move the bit up and down, to get the right depths. Finally, it would be great to use a router planing bit, to plane the surface; and enable less sanding.

Going to your question about how to sell more; there are many people who would love to do their own epoxy tables without the hours of hand routing and sanding.

We actually already have something similar to this! You can upload a 3D scan of any environment to use as the background.

You can check it out in action here: https://youtu.be/3q0z8HaprgU?si=0-vPlz_H6ox5DB2l&t=82

It should work just as well for live edge materials.

Unfortunately Maslow is pretty bad at this because it slides on the surface that its cutting so it can’t give you an external reference for what flat is. You could add a like shaped pocket to an existing flat surface, but it can’t make the surface flat itself.
