As mentioned before, I’m using Shapr3D to create CNC carvings. I currently can not afford the .stl import software for my machine. So, I create in Shapr then export a .png that I want to import to my software. However, when I export there are lines in the objects that the carving software will cut into the wood. Is there a way to export clean .png files without these lines?

See the below pictures for the evidence of the problem.

Thank you!

With the current version of the app (2.2.6), you can’t hide those lines during png export.
