![]() Teaching her to model in 3D is probably out of the question, but tweaking something that pops out of a grayscale-to-3D process is probably feasible. ![]() My wife is an artist, and we are keen on creating 3D versions of her artwork to paint on as wall installations. Working with bitmaps to create 3D artwork panels. Speed is important, so tool changes to use the right part for the right pass is nice. I imagine Carbide Create is just fine for this, but it just didn’t feel right… After modeling in Sketchup, I felt that I just couldn’t get the parts to sit accurately, and I couldn’t figure out roughing tool passes to speed up the process. These are just parts for picture hanging kits and kitchen gadget kits, which are strictly 2D - Cutting out the parts, and adding the bolt holes, essentially. Milling basic wooden and acrylic parts for a business venture. If you would be so kind, I would like to list my use cases (so far!), and get your opinion on what CAD/CAM you would recommend? As a note, a friend of mine sold his CNC machine, and has Vectric Aspire 8.5 that he would sell me for $500 - So lets set $500-700 as the theoretical limit… I am hesitant to buy software 4 years old (and haven’t researched if the license is even transferable!), but that option is on the table! In the meantime, I am reading as much as I can - And would like to pick a software to start learning! I have done light 3D modeling just for planning woodworking projects in Sketchup, but that is the extent of my experience. ![]() Hello all! I am totally new to the world of machining / CNC, but have a use case for diving in! I am eyeing a Shapeoko 3 xxl for my projects, and intend on ordering in the next couple of months.
