🕸️ Unlock the artistry of CNC chip carving with this in-depth exploration of advanced design techniques! In this lesson, we'll dive deeper into creating intricate patterns for chip carving using Vectric software. We'll start by examining various geometric designs, from hexagons to circular patterns, and learn how to recreate them step-by-step. You'll discover how to use basic shapes, offset tools, and circular arrays to build complex, repeating patterns. We'll also explore how to adapt traditional chip carving designs for CNC machining, including how to create rosette trim pieces and custom coasters. Along the way, we'll share tips for optimizing your designs, managing layers, and setting up efficient toolpaths. Whether you're looking to create decorative panels, unique gifts, or architectural details, this lesson will equip you with the skills to bring your chip carving designs to life on your CNC machine!
