How to slice 3d model purshased at vectorart3d.com in the Y

Post by 1rodjava »

The Tech Shop in my city is using Aspire and I purchased a 3d model from vectorart3d.com.

The cutting area is smaller than actual overall size I want. No issue with the Z heights. It's the Y axis which I come up short.

Is it possible to slice the 3d model? Or how would I go about aligning 2 separate sections on the table?

Try Toolpath Tiling - Video 10 on this page - http://www.vectric.com/support/training ... -mach.html

It's designed for projects that are bigger than the toolbed so should do what you're looking for.
