V Carve plug in

Post by rideforlife247 »

looking for information on the V Carve plug in

How is this plug in to be used?

Do you need to have v carve software to use with sheet cam ?

just confused about how to use it

trying to import a 3 dimension shape into sheetcam and it doesnt show up

i currently use sheetcam to successfully cut 2d shapes on the cnc plasma

I have used sheetcam to cut basic 2d shades on the cnc router, with some basic depth options

but how do we go 2.5 D to where you can get some curves and contours, for example if you wanted to route out a eagle in wood

and another goal is to utilize this on a bridgeport cnc mill dx32, to do 2D and 2.5 D shapes and contours in metals

The plugin is for chip carving with a V cutter. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/EfNP-O6V3IQ
It is not related to the V-carve CAd-CAM package and won't help you do full 3D milling.
