FocuZ · 3D slice vs depth map comparison
This tool treats the 3D model as the desired outcome and shows where the depth map's output departs from it. It demonstrates how slicing a 3D model directly preserves detail that is lost when converting to a depth map for laser engraving.

FocuZ allows direct slicing of 3D models on EZCad2 / LightBurn-compatible fiber laser systems — for engraving accuracy no depth map can match.
