🥄 Continue your journey with the large 3D kitchen spoon in this lesson, focusing on creating efficient toolpaths in Vectric VCarve and Aspire! Kyle demonstrates how to prepare your 3D model for carving, including setting up material thickness and understanding the importance of tool length for deep cuts. Learn to strategically use 3D roughing and finishing toolpaths, optimize stepover settings to reduce machining time, and add custom details like text and clip art to the spoon handle. This lesson also covers crucial aspects of double-sided machining, such as understanding material removal on both sides , optimizing tab placement for strength , and using techniques like pocketing and profile toolpaths to safely cut out your final design. Discover tips for troubleshooting common issues and ensuring clean, accurate results for your large 3D spoon project.
