Online Workshop: VCarve Pro for CNC Routing

VCarve Pro is easier to learn than Fusion 360, the other 3D design program taught at BARN, and can be used for projects on both the large CNC router in the Woodworking Studio and the small CNC router in the ETA Lab.

This 3-session class focuses on how to use the program to design a project. You will learn how to create a CNC job, design vectors using basic shapes and basic text, edit and transform vectors, import 3D clipart and models, create tool definitions, create and manage toolpaths, and save g-code for machining on a CNC router. You will not run the router, but this class does qualify you to take a later class where you will design a project in VCarve Pro and then cut it on one of the routers.This first class will also qualify you for future studio-specific classes using CNC routers.
