1-26-2023 Q&A: Wavy Lines, Fit Tolerance, STL Editing, and Organizing Models!
Jan 26, 2023
In this enlightening Q&A Meetup, we dove into the nuances of CNC design and machining with a focus on Vectric software. Participants explored how to create sin waves in VCarve Pro, deciphered the fit tolerance in curve fitting, and navigated the challenges of 3D carving with Aspire. The session also tackled practical issues like adjusting for material warping, the intricacies of modifying STL files, and the specifics of toolpath creation for efficient project execution. Additional discussions included leveraging the mobile app for community engagement, organizing models for streamlined workflows, and one-on-one training opportunities. Whether you're wrestling with technical details or looking for creative project ideas, this session packed with actionable advice and advanced techniques is a must-watch for enhancing your CNC skills.
Questions Answered in this Q&A:
- 00:01:36 - Asking if they can create a sinusoidal wavy line in VCarve Pro for their project.
- 00:18:37 - What precisely is fit tolerance on the curve fit tool?
- 00:22:17 - Asking about determining the final length of a canvas frame post-miter cuts.
- 00:28:51 - Do you teach Aspire too for 3d carving?
- 00:29:50 - Stair-step issues arise from resizing models during import despite high-quality settings, leading to discrepancies between screen previews and actual cuts.
