2-27-2024 Q&A: Tiling, Line Alignment, Toolpaths, Ver.12 Updates, Vacuum Pods, Monitor Mounts, Line Locking, Dome Cutting, CNC-Laser, Clipart.
Feb 27, 2024
In this Q&A Meetup, we navigated through an array of CNC and software challenges, focusing on practical solutions for project enhancements. Key discussions ranged from tiling in VCarve Pro for extended projects, aligning bezier curves for precision, to troubleshooting toolpath visibility in cabinet designs. We also delved into anticipating features in upcoming software versions, optimizing vacuum pod cuts, and crafting custom mounts. Techniques for ensuring smooth dome milling, integrating CNC with laser for seamless project execution, and converting 2D designs into clipart were also explored, making this session a treasure trove of insights for CNC enthusiasts.
