In order to use our CNC machine, your drawing needs to be 2D and in Vector form, made on the the XY plane. The best program to create your image is..........you guessed it - AUTOCAD! If you save your image as a .dwg or .dxf you can easily import it into Inventor for solid modelling and 3D printing, RDworks for laser engraving, V-Carve for CNC toolpathing, GreatCut for vinyl cutting, etc. The possibilities are endless!!!
Please see the teacher to confirm your ideation, and which program will be best to use!
Create your AUTOCAD drawing using the drawing commands you already know! Hint: Spline is a good one to trace images and create curves. Create them all on one layer for now. SAVE SAVE SAVE then follow the below V-Carve tutorial.
