Vectric Software FAQs by Students
Questions by our students with links to video answers covered in our Q&A Meetups.
- When to use a v bit or engraving bit. What's the difference between the two? What application decide when you would use what bit?
- Add texture to the outside of this dish he has over here on the left. He wants to add texture to the flat areas on the perimeter, but he wants the center of the dish to still be smooth.
- He wants to know he's new to fourth axis CNCing. He's using a next wave and he says on this machine it makes more sense to wrap on the y axis as it gives me nearly 48 inches for the workspace between the headstock and Tailstock. I'm having trouble with text alignment no matter what I do.The text is going around the Y axis. I would like to have the text to go to align with the Y axis rotating. The text isn't working.
- Looking for some help with a 3D dish he has and he wants to split it to be able to make it into like a lid.
- When zeroing off the machine bed and putting my machine at the zero x y and then loading my Aspire design that's set up to run using the machine bed as zero. Where do I put my machine at for the z height before starting?
- Is there, an easier way to make a toolpath for each one of these different settings without having to create a toolpath for each rectangle?
- How to import a 3D STL file of an eagle wing into a double sided project.
- Is there a way to remove or flatten out elements in an STL you want to take out or replace, for example, a great STL file, but you want to change the language of the piece to English or other.
- I keep running into an issue with these stair step looking , I think it may be, because I'm resizing the model on import and stretching the model causing stair step effect. I have the render quality to maximum and my toolpath preview quality set the highest as well. It does cut exactly as it looks in the screen. From the Toolpath preview and Aspire.
- What precisely is fit tolerance on the curve fit tool?
- I'm doing a project that requires a wavy line, the same as a sin wave. Can I create this wave in VCarve Pro?
- Can you rotate the grain of that wood 90 degrees?
- I want to add an offset around the hard area down below also, I want then all the remaining areas, I want to do a texturing on it.
- The model's already created. Is there way to create vectors from a 3D model? If you don't have the original vectors?
- Do I have to freehand the vectors then when I form the 3D model?
- So do I have to create vector from the edges, I want to round over with the bit?
- How can I round over the edges of this model during 3D cutting? Is it possible to do this after creating the 3D object from the vectors?
- Designing base cabinets and want to cut in dados in the sides for the bottom and holes for adjustable shelves an a rabbit for the back an also cut out the toe kick to my specs. can that be saved as a template to later on be resized to the next set of cabinets that might be larger or smaller larger.
- Creating a two-sided STL from a model. I keep seeing the back of the neck model on the outside part the cut file looks good in preview, but it does this on export.
- Recently I bought a JTech 14w laser for my Onefinity. Where can I find what the Kerf width is supposed to be?
