⛳️ Design and carve your own custom 3D golf putter head with this advanced lesson! Requested by a student, this project focuses on creating complex 3D shapes using Vectric Aspire. Learn to model the putter head from scratch using draw line, draw arc, and node editing for precise contours. Discover how to leverage the distort tool and Two Rail Sweep (Aspire only) to achieve the unique putter shape. The lesson covers essential 3D roughing and 3D finishing toolpaths with ball nose end mills, as well as pocket and profile toolpaths for weight pockets and outlines. Explore various 3D carving strategies, calculate cutting times, and discuss options for adding inlays (V-carve, epoxy) and text for a personalized touch. This project is a perfect challenge for intermediate to advanced users looking to expand their 3D modeling and machining capabilities.
