Vectric Software for the Absolute Beginner – Part 20
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Part 20 – Importing STL Files [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This article accompanies the twentieth video in a series on my YouTube channel. If you’re not subscribed to my channel, here’s a link. Come on by and check it out. Hopefully you’ll find something you like. In this video, I’ll continue the journey into 3D carving in Vectric Software. We’ll get into importing STL files into the software. First we’ll import the STL file, and I’ll walk you through the 3D Model Orientation screen. From there we’ll create a vector around the model, then start calculating toolpaths. In the 3D roughing toolpath, I’ll show you the difference between using a Z Level strategy…

Vectric for the Absolute Beginner – Part 19
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Part 19 – Combining 3D Models [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This article accompanies the nineteenth video in a series on my YouTube channel. If you’re not subscribed to my channel, here’s a link. Come on by and check it out. Hopefully you’ll find something you like. In this 19th video of the series, I’ll get a bit deeper into 3D carving within the Vectric software. We’ll import two 3D models from the Clipart Library that came with VCarve, and I’ll show you how to combine them to create the basis for a wedding plaque. We’ll create a vector around the models, then offset that vector to give us a profile to cut out…

Vectric Software for the Absolute Beginner – Part 18
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Part 18 – Intro to 3D Carving This article accompanies the eighteenth video in a series on my YouTube channel. If you’re not subscribed to my channel, here’s a link. Come on by and check it out. Hopefully you’ll find something you like. In this video, I’ll slowly wade into the topic of 3D carving in Vectric Software. We’ll get into Modeling Resolution in Job Setup, and I’ll show you how to set that. Then I’ll import a 3D model from the Clipart that comes with the Vectric software when you purchase it. From there we’ll get into the Modeling Tab and convert a dome to a dish, add…

K40 Laser Unboxing
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] K40 Laser Unboxing …and we have a problem… Those of you who follow me on Instagram or Facebook undoubtedly saw some “interesting” photos on my timeline and feed over the course of the last couple of weeks. I’ll admit I was teasing a few people with them, and trying to build a little bit of suspense – especially in my family. A few people zeroed in on what I was posting pictures of and knew what they were right away. Most did not. I had to scramble to get people to change or delete posts so as not to let the cat out of the proverbial bag, but other…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Part 17 – Mirror Vectors [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This article accompanies the seventeenth video in a series on my YouTube channel. If you’re not subscribed to my channel, here’s a link. Come on by and check it out. Hopefully you’ll find something you like. In this video, I’ll address a subject inspired by a comment by a sharp-eyed viewer named Robert. (Thank you, Robert!) We’ll get into Mirroring Vectors in VCarve, and I’ll demonstrate on a couple of different files. Then I’ll directly answer Robert’s comment: How do you make sure both sides of a design are exactly the same?[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] FOR THE ABSOLUTE CNC BEGINNER Don’t stress over any of this.
