Project C: 3D Coin Die

  1. Import height map of a portrait (use Portrait_to_Guilloche plugin)
  2. The CPGE-40 converts grey levels into line density – brighter = more lines per mm.
  3. Export to CNC: Tool: 0.2 mm ball end mill
  4. The 40-bit kernel ensures the portrait emerges from the guilloche without aliasing.

Step 4: Output Generation The user exports the file as a high-resolution 24,000 DPI PS (PostScript) file. This is fed directly into a CNC diamond-tipped engraver (like a Mühlbauer or KBA NotaSys) to cut a steel die for intaglio printing.
