Depth map generators that run on your machine

Tools that turn a flat image into something a machine can cut, engrave or print — on Windows and on Apple Silicon Macs. A one-time purchase with a lifetime license: no subscription, no cloud, no per-render credits.

How it works

One image in. Two very different files out.

Both tools read the same source photo. What separates them is the file they hand your machine — and that is the only thing you need to decide between them.

How a photo becomes a machine-ready file in Voxelase softwareOne source image splits into two routes. DepthGen Pro converts it to a grayscale depth map for CNC relief carving, laser engraving and STL export. VoxelPrime converts it to a layered voxel model for lithophane and multicolour 3D printing.Your imagephoto · logo · artDepthGen ProAI depth + photometric reliefGrayscale depth mapwhite = high · black = deepCNC relief · laser engraving· STL for 3D printingAspire · VCarve · LightBurn · xToolVoxelPrimevoxel engine + colour planningLayered 3D modeldepth · layer height · colourLithophanes · multicolourrelief printsno AMS or MMU required
Both tools start from the same image. The difference is what they hand your machine.

What people build with these

CNC relief carving

Feed a depth map into Vectric Aspire or VCarve and cut a photorealistic relief. The grayscale data decides how deep the bit goes at every point, so the quality of the map is the quality of the carve.

Laser photo engraving

LightBurn's 3D Sliced Mode and xTool Creative Space both read grayscale depth. A map with crushed shadows engraves too deep and a blown one loses surface detail — which is the difference between a flat plate and one with real 3D pop.

Lithophanes and multicolour prints

Turn a photograph into a layered model where thickness controls how much light passes through, or plan how filament colours land across a relief before you commit a print to the plate.

Questions

Before you buy

Still unsure? Email support@voxelase.com.

Which tool do I need — DepthGen Pro or VoxelPrime?

Pick by the machine you are feeding. DepthGen Pro produces grayscale depth maps for CNC relief carving, laser engraving and STL export, so it is the one for routers, fiber and CO2 lasers. VoxelPrime produces layered models for lithophanes and multicolour relief prints, so it is the one for FDM 3D printers. DepthGen Pro ships as two builds, one for Windows and one for Apple Silicon Macs; pick by the computer on your desk, not by the price, because they cost the same and one key covers both.

Is there a Mac version of DepthGen Pro?

Yes. DepthGen Pro for macOS is a native Apple Silicon application for M1, M2, M3 and M4 Macs running macOS 14 Sonoma or later. It runs the depth model on your Mac's GPU through Metal, opens HEIC files directly, and produces the same output as the Windows build. One license key activates both platforms, so buying either one covers you on both.

Do these run offline?

DepthGen Pro runs entirely on your own machine, on Windows or on macOS. There is no cloud processing, nothing is uploaded, and no internet connection is needed once it is installed and activated.

Is this a subscription?

No. Both are a one-time payment with a lifetime license. There are no renewals, no per-render credits and no monthly fees.

What is a depth map, and why does my machine need one?

A depth map is a grayscale image where brightness represents elevation — white pixels are the highest points of the material and black pixels are the deepest. CNC and laser software such as Vectric Aspire, VCarve, LightBurn 3D Sliced Mode and xTool Creative Space read that grayscale data to decide how deep to cut at every point.

How is the software delivered?

Delivery is instant. After checkout you land on a receipt page with your license key and download, and the same details are emailed to you.

Can I get a refund?

If the software does not do what the product page said it would, email support@voxelase.com within 14 days of purchase and you will be refunded in full. There is nothing to ship back and no fee.
