Saving Your Toolpaths
In addition to exporting toolpaths in standard G-Code format, all Carveco software includes a database of post processors covering a variety of machine tool manufacturers and machines. In this tutorial we'll look at the different ways you can save toolpaths, both individually or all together, and explore the options within the Save Toolpath dialog.
Importing 3D Models
Carveco lets you import a variety of full 3D model formats and can transform them into relief models for incorporating into your design. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the different options to import, scale and position 3D STL models to assist you in building up your design composition.
The Carveco Workspace
In this first tutorial video, we will be taking a look at using the interface and workflow in Carveco. Familiarising yourself yourself with the layout, 2D and 3D workspaces and locations of key tools within of the software prior to making that first project.
