🐎 Saddle up for a lesson in CNC project optimization with this horse racing game board! In this session, Kyle tackles common design inefficiencies by demonstrating how to clean up overlapping vectors and intersections that can lead to excessive machining time. You'll learn powerful techniques for precise vector manipulation, including using the "Vector Validator" to identify design flaws, leveraging array copy for accurate replication, and mastering various snapping and alignment tools. Kyle covers efficient methods for organizing your design with layers, joining open vectors, and trimming unwanted segments to create clean, single-line paths. Discover how these vector optimizations directly impact toolpath calculation time and machine efficiency, significantly reducing overall carve duration. This lesson provides essential skills for any Vectric user looking to streamline their workflow and produce cleaner, faster CNC projects.
