Make sure you take advantage of all the tutorials that are on the vectric website or included with your software. They will help in the learning curve when you find someone to get you off to a start. I've had my machine a 1 1/2 and still watch the videos over again including the new tutorials from v...

These would be great questions to ask on the 3dsign forum. A lot of outdoor sign people over there and someone may have experience with corian and coloring outdoors.

What 3d models do you have? Are they on disc and are they transfereable?

I recall seeing someone say they used a smaller bit to run over just a section of a 3d carving to enhance the detail on a 3d carving. Such as using a 1/8th ball nose for the finish cut and then a 1/16th to add detail to just a section of the carving. I can't seem to find the post. I think it would s...

Print out the manual for v-carve pro, yes its a lot of pages but I f...

I live near Pipestone Mn and would be willing to to help you out. I will be gone this weekend but will be around me next weekend. PM me with a way to contact you if you would like.
