Rough Cuts - ArtCAM Express The Basics

We are excited to have posted a special video for our ArtCAM Express (ACE) users. Over the last few months we have had a couple of questions posed to us on how to use our mini-projects in ACE.

We are sure we have answered a couple of these in this short video.

Touching on things like planning your finished piece, centering models, proper method of pasting floating clip-art, how to get ACE to create outlines of pasted clip-art, cropping a model, and much more.

If you are an ArtCAM Express user that that is considering purchasing or already uses CNCminiProjects, and would like to learn a few tips and tricks, this might be the best 15 minutes you'll ever spend.

Even if you are not a customer of ours but do use ACE or are new to ACE then this is a must watch.

We will be adding more Rough Cuts videos specifically for ACE users, in the future, so you might want to subscribe to our YouTube channel or get on our mailing list so you can see them all.

If you are an ArtCAM Express user and have a specific question please feel free to leave a comment and we will get back to you with an answer or attack it in a future video.

Be safe and safe CNCing.

PNGs for our CarveWright friends!

Just a quick little post to all of our CarveWright friends out there who have been wondering if they can use our mini-projects.  The answer is YES!!!! 

All of our mini-projects are offered in a gray-scale, PNG format that can be imported into your software. 

We know this might not be the preferred method and most would like us to offer the .PTN version.  We are hoping to do that in the future once we get our hands on the software to make the conversion (psst... if you know someone at CarveWright, wink, wink, point them in our direction).

For now, and you can test this out with our free mini-project, just import in the .PNG grayscale and your software should convert the levels of gray into the bas-relief.   

Give it a go and if you have any questions, suggestion, or comments... please leave them for us to ponder. 

Well... what are you waiting for!  Get carving!!!!

The CNCminiProjects Team!
