46202-K: ()ġ/16' Solid Carbide Spektra™ Coated 3D Carving Ball Nose Bit No. Total lumber used: (11'圆'x1') This is dependent on the model size you plan to makeġ/4' Solid Carbide, Spektra™ Coated Downcut CNC Bit No. Once you understand that this is how it works, those crazy buttons are just functions to help you obtain the final shape you want! The reason why I call this 'basic' is because I really think it won't get easier than this! Ok so without further ado, let's get into it. Let me tell you, all CAD software operates the same way:Ģ) A line can be extended into a surface/plane depending on the shape of the line and direction that it is swept in.ģ) A surface becomes a 3D object once it is extruded. In school I've used Solidworks and AutoCAD extensively, and now I am a design engineer for an automotive company where I have been using CATIA for almost 10 years to design cars. So for background, I'm a mechanical engineer and aerospace engineer. So I made a Youtube video getting into the details of everything from modeling in Fusion 360, to setting up the toolpaths in Fusion 360, my settings, the cutters I used, and how to finally carve this on my X-carve. It was actually part of a proposal for a sponsored project, but I got a bunch of questions from people asking what software i used to design it and carve it.

Hey guys! So a few weeks ago I posted on my Instagram on carving a 3D polymetric shape using my CNC.
