Orach Technic Pro 1L - Pass-2 is a hybrid OpenType (.otf) font developed for single line with 2 pass engraving.
Pass-2 was developed directly from our standard Orach Technic Pro – Thin (ProGrav) font.
A single centerline was generated through the middle of its extremely narrow double-line geometry.
Each stroke is engraved in one direction and then retraced back to its starting point along the same toolpath.
Both share the same character design and engraving geometry. The difference lies only in the engraving method:
Pass-1 uses a single pass, while Pass-2 uses two separate passes.
This Pass-2 fonts can be implemented in the OpenType format only as special hybrid solutions.
As a result, they do not fully conform to the original purpose of the OpenType standard and may exhibit certain limitations or compatibility issues
in some graphic,
CAD/CAM, and CNC applications. For many users, however, these limitations are acceptable in practice.
The fact that this type of font works correctly in some applications but not in others
is the main reason why we do not generally recommend it as our primary solution.
Font Orach Pass-2 are hybrid OpenType (.OTF) solutions and may exhibit application-specific limitations depending on
how individual programs interpret their geometry, although the text itself remains readable.
Programs interpret overlapping geometry although the text itself remains readable. For example:
When font Pass-2 converted to outlines in Adobe Illustrator, the characters are generated correctly and can be exported for use in other applications.
These fonts were developed as specialized alternatives to our standard Orach Technic Pro – Thin font,
which already provides a reliable solution for virtually all engraving and marking applications in CNC and laser technology.
Orach Technic Pro 1L - Pass-2 may be beneficial when producing extremely small text (around 1mm high)
that is designed in graphic applications before being transferred to engraving systems.
Compatibility Note
Our Engraving Port currently describes approximately 180 engraving applications.
Even this is far from a complete list of the software used worldwide.
To verify compatibility with Orach Technic Pro 1L, it is not enough to read the documentation or contact the software manufacturer.
Each application must be installed and tested with our font to determine whether it preserves the original open character geometry or
automatically connects the first and last segments.
Our purpose is not to evaluate or purchase these applications, but simply to verify their compatibility with our fonts.
Unfortunately, most trial licensing systems are designed for prospective customers rather than for this kind of technical compatibility testing.
For this reason, we cannot realistically maintain a complete, accurate and up-to-date compatibility list for all engraving, CAD/CAM and CNC applications.
Fortunately, some professional applications do provide full support for this type of font.
As a practical example, the link below demonstrates Orach Technic Pro 1L (Pass-1) running in Rhino,
one of the best-known professional CAD applications with built-in support for single-line engraving fonts.
When the Engraving font option is enabled, Rhino preserves the original open geometry of each character instead of automatically connecting
the first and last segments. As a result, Orach Technic Pro 1L (Pass-2) works exactly as intended - as a true single-line OpenType font.
Of course, our standard Orach Technic Pro – Thin font also works perfectly in Rhino, as well as in virtually all graphic, CAD/CAM and CNC applications.
