The act/sign software, based on Alma's cutting expertise, has been specifically designed to answer these needs. act/sign groups the following functionalities: • the drawing and vectorization of text from any TrueType font: the curves are automatically transformed into lines and arcs. It is also possible to arrange spacing, to adjust the text horizontally and vertically within a template, etc. • the import of images from any TWAIN-compatible input (industrial scanner, industrial digital camera) and via JPG, GIF, TIF, BMP, PNG, PSD, PCX, TGA, WBMP, WMF and EMF formats. • the transformation of images into contours ready for cutting including optimization functions: luminosity/contrast/threshold/colouring adjustment, lines/angles detection, smoothing, etc.) • the transformation of an image or a photo into a part to be punched. • the digitizing of contours from any ASCII-digitizer. • DXF or DPR export to Alma's act/cut CAM-cutting/punching software for machining. | | |
