Vcarve
Hi, my name is Terry, I have a smartbench and vectric vcarve. As the lessons in vcarve aren’t available yet, should I do the fusion lessons or will this just confuse me?
Hi Terry,
I've a smartbench too. Where are you based?
Cheers
Mike
Hi Mike, I’m based in Manchester. I bought my machine in lockdown after being made redundant. I tried setting something up with a friend who knows cad well. This unfortunately didn’t work out due to him having health problems. I have had no time to learn myself. I’m now making time
Hi Terry,
I’ve been using Vcarve Pro for about a year and a half for doing engraving and inlay. There are a lot of online courses that Vectric provides as well as many people demonstrating specific uses of Vcarve on YouTube. Are there specific lessons you’re looking for?

Hi Dean, I can navigate around vcarve a little. I feel it wouldn’t take much for me to get to grips with it. I’ve watched quite a few vectric vids. What I need help more with is on the design side. Can it be done in vcarve or is it better in another program and being imported? If so, what program and how can I learn that?

Hi Terry
If you can spare the time I don't think it would hurt to work through the Fusion lessons. It depends on what you are making but you may find it an interesting comparison to see the difference in the two packages.
You may also notice a re arrangement of the courses structure. I felt it had a better flow to work right through from design to tool paths and post processing in a full module on each software package rather than jump between softwares mid module. Hence the reason there is now a Fusion and a VCarve module as separate entities.
Just so you have an idea of timescale it is my intention to finish building the Fusion module this week and then start on VCarve next week.
Hope that helps. I am aiming to get the course built asap whilst still keeping things thorough but it does expand somewhat. What I originally intended to be one lesson on Fusion design ended up being 6 as I discovered more things that I felt should be included.
I hope you are all enjoying it so far!
Cheers

learnyourcnc.com is a great investment to learn vectric software. From cut 2d to aspire it’s the best money spent for me.
