About this event
In this lecture, learn how to unlock the art of creating stunning stacked letter signs using the CNC router! This beginner-friendly class is perfect for anyone eager to dive into CNC design using Vectric’s powerful V-Carve software. Whether you’re a hobbyist or looking to expand your CNC skills, you’ll leave this class with the confidence to design eye-catching signs featuring layered, stacked text effects – no prior experience required! In this hands-on, design-focused class, you’ll master the process of creating a professional stacked letter sign from scratch.
In this hands-on, design-focused class, you’ll master the process of creating a professional stacked letter sign from scratch. Using V-Carve, you will: 1) create the precise vectors for a stacked letter sign; 2) select the right router bits and settings from V-Carve’s Tool Database; 3) build the toolpaths needed to bring your sign to life on a CNC router; 3) export your toolpaths as G-Code to control the CNC machining process; and 4) save the project files (design and “cut” files) to a USB flash drive to use on your own CNC later. (Note: Due to the time constraints, this class will focus on the design in V-Carve and does not include live CNC cutting.)
To follow along with the instructor’s step-by-step guidance, please bring a laptop with Vectric’s V-Carve Desktop or V-Carve Pro (a trial or licensed version) software already installed and a USB 2.0 flash drive in the FAT32 format (for the project’s design and cut files). Don’t have V-Carve? Visit https://www.vectric.com/ to download the software. (There are 2 options: 1) try the free trial of V-Carve Desktop (note: the trial does not allow saving your work); or 2) purchase V-Carve Desktop (recommended) or V-Carve Pro to save and export the CNC designs.
Join us to transform your CNC ideas into reality with V-Carve’s powerful design tools. Let’s create something amazing together! Reserve your seat today.
