9-12-2023 Q&A: STL Edits, Scaling, SVG Replacements, CorelDRAW Imports, Texture Creation, G-Code Tips, Rotary Angles, Phone Lockbox, and Vector Closures!
Sep 12, 2023
In this Q&A Meetup, we tackled a range of topics from modifying STL files with new elements to optimizing toolpaths for precision and efficiency. Participants learned about importing designs from CorelDRAW into Aspire, creating unique textures like hammered copper, and techniques for effective vector management. Whether you're interested in intricate design adjustments or enhancing your project's finish, this session offers valuable insights into navigating common challenges and utilizing software tools to bring creative visions to life.
