6-22-2023 Q&A: Toolpath Selection, Jointed Letters, Texture Mapping, Clip Art, Live Lessons, Model Modification, Tool Availability, Database Backup
Jun 22, 2023
During our June 22nd Q&A Meetup, we tackled a variety of topics to boost your CNC and Vectric software prowess. From perfecting tool selections for existing projects like the spring clock to creative challenges like crafting jointed letters and applying realistic textures to 3D models, we covered essential techniques for enhancing your designs. Attendees gained insights into managing Vectric's vast clip art library, leveraging the master course for in-depth learning, and the intricacies of model nesting and database management. The discussion also ventured into practical advice for outdoor event displays, showcasing the durability and design of plywood shelves. Whether you're a beginner seeking foundational knowledge or an experienced user looking to refine your skills, this meetup offered valuable guidance and inspiration for all.
