Nice video! Could you put up a video on some recommended tips and techniques/jigs/etc on getting the model aligned properly for each side, so they all meet up?
@Vectric Thank you! That is clear. Let me ask another question. If material was chucked up between centers on a 4 axis cnc or rotary, and the operator had manual control over the 4th axis, this would then be the optimum use of Cut 3D, would it not? The top, right hand side, bottom and left hand side could be roughed and then the process repeated with the ball mill of the users choice with no more than two revolutions of the rotary. Am I tracking?
Hello! Can you clear up a bit of misunderstanding on my part? It was unclear watching the video if any data was actually driving the fourth axis. Would I be correct in assuming the machinist must fixture the material and rotate the block after each process or.....is fourth axis data available to rotate the model between centers? Thanks!
It appears that this software allows you to work with stl files but does it allow you to import and stl file and print it the exact size of the file imported. I have watched several of your videos and they all seem to have you scale the object when it is imported. I am wondering if this software or any vectric software has the ability to cut exact sized objects from stl files? If so I would love to see a video on you importing an stl file and carving/routing it to exact tolerances of the stl file.

Hi @Navigator777777, there is no 4th axis data, so in this instance your process is correct.
Hope this helps.
