The big thing is, one can pretty much do whatever one’s patience will allow one to achieve:

Spoon Possible without CC Pro?

I’d like to make a wooden spoon and was wondering if that’s possible to do with the standard CC? Can it be done with a bowl bit? I don’t have one but can pick one up. Thanks!

Making a base for a model

Given a prototype base: [image] How to make it in Carbide Create? First, we have a pixel image with some dimensions: [F-86 base scan with measurements] We import that into Carbide Create: [image] using “Set Background”: [image] and adjust for size: [image] [image] It’s then a matter of drawing and toolpaths and so forth (we will try to do it w/o Create Pro, but will also show that). For reference, there is an overhead view as well: [DSC00036]

even w/o what would normally be done in Pro or using a traditional 3D CAD/CAM tool, though I will note, that once one runs into the limitations of Carbide Create we do sell:

Alibre Workshop CAD/CAM

for folks whose work takes them to full 3D.
