Dive into our informative CNC Q&A Meetup where we tackled a diverse set of Vectric software challenges and woodworking techniques. This session explored solutions for VCarving issues related to open vectors, alternatives to the SketchUp Cutlist plugin for generating bills of materials, and techniques for integrating 3D models into custom sign designs. We also demonstrated how to 3D model a beach ball in Aspire for creative signage, shared best practices for gluing boards to prevent cupping when making a pizza peel, and provided tips to prevent machine settings from disappearing in VCarve. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced user, this replay is packed with actionable tips to elevate your CNC projects.
