PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance engraving quality by synthesizing a desired cutting toolpath from image data corresponding to an image to be engraved, thereby obtaining large flexibility. SOLUTION: An image processing computer 40 connected to an engraving controller 38 generates digital image data regarding an image to be engraved by an engraving unit 10 and the engraved image. And, a digital signal processor or processing means 42 connected to the controller 38 generates a toolpath to be traced by a cutter stylus 30 so as to engrave an engraving area to be engraved in response to a flow of the digital image data. Further, an amplifier 53 connected to the processor or the means 42 amplifies a signal generated from the processor or the means 42, transmits it to an engraving head 28, and drives the stylus 30 so as to engrave a pattern on the engraving area of a surface of a cylinder 24. Thus, engraving quality can be enhanced. |
