Re: Any budget 3d scanner recomendation?

If you are in the US then another option is to have Brady Watson at Ibild.com do the scanning for you. This would allow you to get quality scans, and then later determine if/when you are doing enough scanning work to justify having your own setup.

Re: 3d

Can i take a pic of a car and vcarve it look like a 3d pic. VCarve is not a 3D modeling program. To create a 3D model you would need Aspire or some other program. However, the SketchCarve toolpath can produce a nice V-carved image. If you are unsure you can download VCarvePro V12 and try it for you...

Re: Using the 4th axis as an indexer

This allows actually seeing the design. It is a somewhat clunky procedure since the model not being toolpathed needs to be turned off and the actual finished piece is still a bit of a "leap of faith". I agree. I too have had to think long and hard on double-sided indexer projects where the Z-zero i...

ColorCore Sign

The material is King ColorCore: 24"x23"X0.25", white over blue.
The section "Weather Forecasting Stone" was carved with a dull V-bit and left lots of fuzzies. The rest was carve with spiral upcut O flute bits (0.0625, 0.125, 0.25) and carved very well. This will be an outdoor sign.

Re: V12 Keep-Out Zones

If you have a clamp in the lower left, then it might be better to have XY home be in the center of the project. FYI, at the end of the file my machine, rather than going to XY home, returns to the machine park position which is Z at max machine height and XY is 3/4ths of the way to the back, towards...

Re: Machining a hexagonal head with fourth axis

Another method is to use the moulding toolpath with a Vector that is an "unwrapped" version of the hex head. You can either calculate the geometry, or find a tool that will generate the unwrapped vector.

The example below is in VCarve 11.5
