In this Q&A Meetup, we covered a variety of CNC and Vectric software topics, from creating 3D stacked text to achieving realistic textures in designs. Participants learned about the pros and cons of different text stacking methods, strategies for managing and deleting unused fonts, and techniques for converting photos into carvable 3D images. The session offered practical advice for enhancing award ribbon designs and tips for using a diamond drag bit. A valuable resource for anyone looking to refine their CNC projects with advanced design techniques.
