In this live group training, we continued a project learning how to 3D model a Christmas tree in Aspire. This lesson is part 2 of a multi-part lesson where we explore many different 3D modeling techniques.

In this live group training, we started a project learning how to 3D model a Christmas tree in Aspire. This lesson is part 1 of a multi-part lesson where we explore many different 3D modeling techniques.

In this live group training, we took a deep dive into node editing and how to become proficient in editing shapes.

In this live group training, we learned how to import and set up toolpaths for a 3D badge file. We also learned how to make the badge into a template, so you can easily change the names on the badge when you want to carve multiples with different text.

In this live group training, we learned how to 3D model a simple snowman in both VCarve and Aspire. We also learned many differences between VCarve and Aspire.

In this live group training, we learned how to design a multi-layered sign from an image.

In this live group training, we learned how to use diode lasers with Vectric software. We looked at how to download the laser module, add lasers to the tool database, use the laser cut and fill toolpath, prep pictures & use the laser picture toolpath, and how to project laser toolpaths onto 3D models.

In this live group training, we learned how to design 3D topographic maps and create the toolpaths. We also looked at how you can 3D model in VCarve with limited 3D modeling tools available and get away with making this project without needing Aspire.

In this live group training, we learned how to design edge lit acrylic signs with regular vectors and with turning 3D models into 2D wireframe vectors. We also learned some tips and techniques for machining acrylic.

In this live group training, we learned techniques on how to 3D modeled pumpkins and a witch hat from images found online. This lesson only applies to Aspire because you cannot 3D model in Cut2D or VCarve.

In this live group training, we 3D modeled half of a ship wheel from an image sent in by a student. This lesson only applies to Aspire because you cannot 3D model in Cut2D or VCarve.

In this live group training, we learned how to design custom Halloween candy trays. We also looked at how to create toolpath templates with variables to easily make new tray designs without having to re-create the toolpaths. The techniques from this lesson can be used for many different project designs.

In this live group training, we finished up our 3 part series on making an electric guitar in Vectric. This lesson focused on how to make the fretboard in VCarve or Aspire.

In this live group training, we looked at how to create custom contours along the edge of the guitar body made in last week's lesson. We also looked at how to import an electric guitar neck 3d model and how to create the double-sided toolpaths for the neck.

In this live group training, we looked at how to import an electric guitar design and how to create the double-sided toolpaths for the design.

In this live group training, we looked at how to create custom 2D signs and how to add a level of uniqueness to them. Lots of great tips and techniques shared in this lesson.

In this live group training, we looked at how to draw a custom shaped baseball bat and make toolpaths for it to be cut on a rotary CNC. We also looked out how you can easily manipulate the shape of the baseball bat and how you can customize it with engraved text.

In this live group training, we looked at how to import a 3D SketchUp cabinet file, organize the layers, nest multiple copies of the parts on different thickness sheets, label the parts, and tips on how to automate the toolpaths with layers, templates, and variables.

In this live group training, we looked at how to import a 3D kitchen spoon file and create the double sided toolpaths in VCarve. We also looked at a lot of handy shortcuts and answered a lot of great questions from students.

In this live group training, we looked at how to create a few different unique styles of 3D geometric patterns with VCarve and Aspire.
