CNC Seminars Philadelphia Event Update

Post by mezalick »

There are 10 seats still open for this event.
We are limiting the number of attendees so that we can give everyone time to learn and have their questions answered.
This event is not about just presentations but about moving forward with your learning curve.

The schedule is:
Thursday Jan. 26, 2017

Day 1 Philadelphia
Morning Sessions......8:30 AM - 12:00 NOON
VECTRIC 2D & 2.5D DESIGN
File Operation and Vector Creations are explored
The design portion of this class explains in detail the creation, modification and combining of each of the vector creation tools.
Transform and Edit Tools
Also covered in depth are the Transform, Edit, Align and Offset & Layout tools. Drawing tab icons are covered one by one with all options explained. Information and methodology pertinent to woodworkers, sign makers and artists are covered.

Art 101.
Whether you’re making signs for the local restaurant or a creating a gift for a close friend, you’re making art.
And there’s a lot to consider in making the best item possible.
Design layout, Geometrical perspective, positive space vs. negative space, the size and choice of fonts, colour selection, which material to use,,,and the list goes on.
This portion of the seminar will offer insight and ideas on what to do and how to make informed choices when it comes to designing your work.

Aspire Basics,,,from the beginning.
What’s a component,
How to make a component.
What happens if you combine components...
This class sets the foundation for vector modification and model creation using Aspire.
It is the intro to the Modeling Tools and offers users the knowledge to step up into 3-D modeling of their own designs.

Notes: The Vectric Design and Toolpath classes are user participation classes taught by two instructors using a “left brain – right brain” tag team approach that should leave no attendee wanting. Attendees are asked to bring problematic files.
Vector creation, transform and toolpath options available in Cut2D are an exact subset of those in VCarve Pro & Aspire and are taught together. The 2D & 2.5D Classes are a required prerequisite to all Aspire Classes.
Version 8.5 of V-Carve and Aspire will be used throughout these sessions.

12:00 NOON – 1:00 PM ---- Lunch Time
Afternoon Session 1:00 PM - 4:30 PM

A number of questions have come up regarding use of laptops at the Philly Seminar.

There is an advantage to have Vectric software loaded on a laptop for these events. Both to follow along and to have problematic operations and files to present to the instructors.

Instruction is given on the latest versions of all Vectric titles. Older versions may not have the same features, or they may not present or operate in the same manner as the current ones. The current version of VCarve Pro and Aspire is 8.5.14. You can access the version number from the "Help" menu and click on "About". Do yourself a favor and upgrade if one is available. One of the Vectric titles licensed in your name is preferred, but a trial version may get you by, but will limit file exchange with the instructors.

Those with needs that are not listed on the schedule will be given an opportunity to add these to the request fill-in sheet for the 3rd days agenda. The instructors will be available during the breaks between sessions to answer your questions.

The Philly Seminar is less than 2 weeks away. We have nearly a full house, but there are still a few seats left.
