Hi Mike I used a template given to me for the shape. Transferred the template to a grid & plotted against x & y values for points along the curve. Using TurboCAD, points plotted, I created a 3D sequence of profiles, consisting of 2D shapes. Via lofting function, a full 3D item is created & cut in ha...

1:25 scale cabriole-style leg , done as proof of concept for a client.
Design still needs some final tweaking before going full size.
I could not have achieved this without Aspire.

Was on back burner for a friend. Project now has legs. CNC + Aspire to the rescue - accuracy for curves,hole alignment & mirror-flip tools. Finish is chalk paint , seems to a thing at the moment..... Items will shipped flat pack, unfinished , aimed at DIY Moms etc. Each unit holds 8 standard 410 gra...

Client's brief = Make me a sign for my horse's stable from railway sleeper teak. Only wax the machined area & leave the un-machined area as it was saw-cut at the mills, warts & all. The ease of the job is thanks to Aspire-magic ! I ran the job without dust-extractor to be able to take photo's as wor...

It's been a while since 3D scanners have been discussed on the various forum choices. More choices are now available to end users. I ask for comment by anyone using a 3D scanner to give some feedback. Make, model, approx. cost, ease of use, accuracy, rendering quality, "edit-ability" etc. I see more...

Hi to all Thank you for the posts. I never thought that such a small item would kick-start a discussion. I will try the brass bar idea in 2015, it does make sense. Suggestion to Vectric - When anyone registers on this forum, make the country of ops a required field. I also often look at the country ...

Hi Scott Tks for the encouragement. I used a piece of hardwood as a stop to fix Y-axis position. VIP to keep parallel to X-axis. Marked centre of work piece with a metal work scriber. (Yields thinner lines than a pencil) Used a laser drill press attachment to line up X-axis position. I have used dow...
