MillMage Pro 0.9 Adds V-Carving, Relief Carving and True Nesting
MillMage Pro 0.9 adds CNC carving and contour nesting. Here is what changed from the release candidate and what to try before upgrading.
MillMage Pro 0.9 is released: LightBurn’s September 8 announcement adds V-carving, relief carving and true contour nesting. Core owners get a two-week Pro trial; the published Core-to-Pro upgrade is $100. Test a representative CNC project before switching your production workflow.
The September release moves Pro beyond the earlier RC
Pro adds V-carving plus roughing and finishing for reliefs.
True nesting uses object outlines; Core’s quick nesting uses bounding boxes.
The announcement offers an existing Core user a two-week Pro trial.

LightBurn’s released MillMage 0.9 also adds 3D model import that creates grayscale depth maps. Core gains Centerline Trace and MultiPage. The company lists a 30-day trial for new users.
We have not tested these toolpaths, controller compatibility or material savings. This is MillMage CNC software; the post’s future plans for LightBurn are not released LightBurn features. Use the trial with your own file, cutter, stock and machine profile before paying for a CAM change.
What to confirm for your own project
For a relief job, examine the imported depth map and roughing and finishing paths together. Treat the preview as a planning aid until a sample establishes the result on your own material.
Who should investigate this next: The upgrade is relevant when carving or contour nesting solves a recurring CNC task. A shop content with its existing toolpaths has less reason to change software immediately.
- Does the generated toolpath meet your machine limits and finish requirements?
- Does contour nesting save useful stock on your actual parts?
Wait if:A new feature list alone does not establish controller compatibility or a better finished part.
Investigate further when:Compare toolpaths and a controlled sample with the workflow you already trust.
