How to use the sketch carving toolpath in Vectric software | 2.5D Toolpaths | V12 Tutorials

In this tutorial we will illustrate how sketch carving can take a high quality image or a 3D model and create impressive stylistic 2D v-carved results without much extra work required from the user.

Take a moment to appreciate what a good job the devs did in creating this!

[RobSandstromDesigns]

I want to play with this some more to see the possibilities. Good tutorial Todd.

[LgosseuxDbois-TheWoodpecker]

This a great addition to version 12 Thank you

[TheTrophyStore]

I like the new sketch carve. good Job !

[southbayproducts]

Thank you Sir. Great stuff I will try one soon

[AHackOfAllTrades]

Nice overview. How do you specify the depth of cut?

[davidrowe]

Really like the sketch carve addition. For some reason I am unable to create a job sheet when using Sketch Carve.

[maximazur]

Nice!! So now we can 3D carve with a big ball nose to get the shape and then sketch carve following the contour with a V bit?! Have to try that!

Can you use the Sketch vectors for a laser path?

[davidbornstein]

How do you remove background noise? Eg maybe random vectors from clouds etc.

[charleswallace]

How do you deselect the inside of forever?

How do you bring the rooster in with no background? Every .crv file I save has a background therefore you can’t create a vector background around the image. It goes around the work piece boundary.

But I don’t really see how this is really any different from from a bitmap trace then a simple vcarve? Even with 3d objects if I’m looking for a 3d object to be a 2d object I’ll just find a simple image and basically have the same results
