✨ Take your CNC projects to the next level by accurately digitizing large physical objects! Continuing from last week's lesson, Kyle compares the accuracy of manual tracing, Shaper Trace, and professional scanning methods. Discover advanced techniques for vectorizing objects larger than a single sheet of paper, including tiling multiple traces and piecing them together in Vectric. Kyle also introduces specialized tools like digitizing probes and 3D scanners, discussing their pros, cons, and accuracy. Learn practical tips for recreating complex shapes by hand using measurements, and explore solutions for obtaining accurate digital representations of any physical object for your CNC.
