How to Use Vectric Cut 3D 12 for CNC Machining 3D Models
Vectric Cut 3D 12 is a dedicated toolpath engine for CNC machining 3D models that have been designed using a 3D CAD or Graphics design product such as AutoCAD, Rhino3D, 3D Studio etc. or scanned using a laser or touch probe device[^1^]. In this article, we will show you how to use Vectric Cut 3D 12 to create high quality toolpaths for your CNC projects.

Step 1: Load a 3D Model
The first step is to load a 3D model into Vectric Cut 3D 12. You can import models in various formats such as STL, DXF, OBJ, SKP, V3M, CRV3D and 3DCLIP. To load a model, click on the \"Open\" icon on the toolbar or go to \"File > Open\". You can also drag and drop a file from your computer onto the Vectric Cut 3D 12 window.
Once you load a model, you will see it displayed in the 3D View window. You can use the mouse to rotate, pan and zoom the model. You can also use the \"View\" menu to change the display options such as shading, wireframe, material and background color.
Step 2: Set the Model Size and Position
The next step is to set the size and position of the model on your CNC machine. To do this, click on the \"Model Size\" icon on the toolbar or go to \"Model > Model Size\". You will see a dialog box where you can enter the dimensions of the model in X, Y and Z directions. You can also choose the units (inches or millimeters) and the orientation (top or bottom) of the model.
You can also adjust the position of the model on your CNC machine by using the \"Zero Position\" icon on the toolbar or going to \"Model > Zero Position\". You will see a dialog box where you can enter the coordinates of the origin point (X0, Y0, Z0) of your CNC machine. You can also choose the corner (bottom left, bottom right, top left or top right) of the model that corresponds to the origin point.
Step 3: Create Toolpaths
The final step is to create toolpaths for your CNC machine. To do this, click on the \"Create Toolpath\" icon on the toolbar or go to \"Toolpaths > Create Toolpath\". You will see a dialog box where you can choose from various types of toolpaths such as roughing, finishing, slicing and drilling. You can also specify parameters such as tool diameter, stepover, feed rate, spindle speed and depth per pass.
After you create a toolpath, you will see it displayed in the 2D View window. You can use the mouse to pan and zoom the toolpath. You can also use the \"Toolpath\" menu to change the display options such as color, thickness and visibility.
Step 4: Save and Preview Toolpaths
The last step is to save and preview your toolpaths before sending them to your CNC machine. To save a toolpath, click on the \"Save Toolpath\" icon on the toolbar or go to \"Toolpaths > Save Toolpath\". You will see a dialog box where you can choose a file format (such as G-code or ShopBot) and a folder location for your toolpath file.
To preview a toolpath, click on the \"Preview Toolpath\" icon on the toolbar or go to \"Toolpaths > Preview Toolpath\". You will see a simulation of how your CNC machine will cut your model. You can use the mouse to rotate, pan and zoom the preview. You can also use the \"Preview\" menu to change the display options such as material color, tool diameter and animation speed.
Conclusion
Vectric Cut 3D 12 is a powerful and easy-to-use software for CNC machining 3D models. It allows you to import models in various formats, set their size and position on your CNC machine, create high quality toolpaths and save and preview them before 29c81ba772
