After the material is cut, ImagePaint updates and creates new images to facilitate material reuse. With ImagePaint, users with little experience in using Adobe Illustrator and CNC technologies such as laser and CNC router, can quickly create toolpaths ready to be sent to the CNC for cutting. It may not be clear what other products you can create with ImagePaint until you have learned what it can do and how it can help you expand your creativity through its advanced product visualization features and its image-based design technology. You can inlay these artworks into furniture, cabinets, floors, jewelry, trophies, wooden boxes, guitars and other high end, custom made products. What can you create? With ImagePaint, you can create artworks made of wood veneers, fabric, seashells and other decorative materials. Inside Adobe Illustrator, these physical materials are JPEG images of actual raw materials such as wood, stones, fabric, seashells and other decorative materials.
