3D cut help needed

Post by fgriffin »

I am brand new to CNC and this is my first post. I have tried the search option and did not find an answer to my question.

Will 3D Cut allow me to add text to a Vector Art 3D file? If so, would someone please give me a tutorial on how to accomplish.

thanks

No, Cut3D will create the toolpaths for Vector Art 3D files but you can't modify them or add to them in anyway.

For simple text additions you can use Cut3D/Vector Art 3D Machinist in conjunction with Cut2D or VCarve.

For more complex work you would need Aspire.
