20 Claims

1. A system comprising:

at least one processor;

at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium; and

program instructions stored on the at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium that are executable by the at least one processor such that the system is configured to:

display, via a design interface for use with a computer-numerically-controlled (CNC) machine, an object for a design, wherein the object comprises a first portion that defines the design and a second portion that excludes the design;

receive user input indicating a request to create a stamp design based on the object for the design, wherein the stamp design includes a padding value;

based on the received user input indicating the request to create the stamp design, create the stamp design by:

mirroring the object; and

determining an outline encompassing the object, wherein an outer boundary of the stamp design extends beyond the outline by the padding value; and

generate a design file for the created stamp design, the design file executable by a CNC machine to deliver electromagnetic energy to effect, in a material, one or more changes corresponding to the second portion of the object that excludes the design.
