🛡️ Assemble your own iconic Captain America shield in this advanced 3D modeling lesson! Learn how to design and carve a double-sided shield using Vectric Aspire or VCarve. Kyle guides you through creating precise circular and star shapes, handling component levels, and applying various modeling tools to achieve the shield's classic dome and dish profiles. Discover essential techniques for preparing your model for two-sided machining, including setting zero positions, using dowel pins for accurate alignment, and optimizing toolpaths like 3D roughing and finishing. The lesson also covers importing 2D vectors, adjusting component combine modes, visualizing your project with colors, and tips for working with plywood and epoxy infills for a flawless finish.
