A CNC depth map is a grayscale image used to guide computer numerical control (CNC) machines during the engraving or milling process. Each pixel's shade of gray corresponds to a specific depth level, with lighter tones typically representing shallower cuts and darker tones representing deeper cuts. This map allows for precise control of tool depth, enabling the creation of intricate 3D surface textures and detailed reliefs. CNC depth maps are essential for translating complex designs into accurate, tactile physical forms in materials such as wood, metal, or plastic.
