The software works in 2D because that is enough for CNC engraving texts and patterns with a fixed depth of cut. It is not necessary to design in any 3D CAD software, that saving costs and efforts. So, you can put more money and power into testing different materials.
Creating a Text Tool Path
First, use Draw Text to create a text object. You can find the tool in the toolbar as shown below. Then, type a text to the canvas as you like.
Second, use Fill to generate an engraving tool path. The material inside the text contour will be removed. The blue lines represent the generated tool path.
Third, use Print… (Ctrl+P) to export the design to be a Printer job.
To preview the machining results, click “Print as a file” in the print dialogue.
Verify the tool path
Now open Roland MODELA to simulate the cutting results.
First, use File > Open (Ctrl+O) to load the previous tool path file to the program.
Second, go to Simulation > Tool Setup… to define your cutting tool. For example, we choose a square end mill as the tool and 3 mm as the blade diameter.

Press Redo Cutting, it will simulate the results with the corresponding parameters.
Third, you can obtain different results with the same tool path by changing the tool setup. For example, we choose (V-shaped) engraving tool this time. You can input the tip size and the blade angle according to the specification of your cutters.
Bevel edges are obtained this time. You can switch to 3D simulation to better verify the 3D results.
