Fantastic tutorial on using a rotary with vcarve, Been looking for something like this for a while, Thanks again for an easy to follow in-depth video, cheers.
It's not strictly required, but Fusion puts their rotary features behind their machining extension which costs well over a thousand dollars, so at the moment we recommend people stick to VCarve. There are technically also other workarounds such as unwrapping the model in a program such as MeshLab and then importing that flatted model into Fusion for toolpath generation, or use Luban (from snapmaker) to generate rotary toolpaths on models with some copy pasting, but both are quite involved and can get frustrating to all but the most advanced users.
Great question! We've got a great resource page that answers that question with info on how to do it too! Let us know if you need any help! resources.sienci.com/view/using-other-cnc-routers/
Most of us have no doubt about vortex. Designing the skull from scratch,now thatwould be a lesson worth watching! ✨️🤔✨️

awesome video. thanks for sharing.
Is Vcarve required for the Vortex or could I setup a rotary project in Fusion 360 and achieve the same result?

@@johannchungsaojing Appreciate the reply and explanation! 👍
Thank you for this great tutorial! One question, is the Vortex compatible with other CNC brands like OneFinity?

So this was a great video so ….. so it’s that easy ….. so thank you the video
It's not as hard as a lot of people think it is! Hopefully this helped!
Just ordered 😂
Curious, Is the Vortex rotary axis a stand alone unit or must it be wired into a cnc router?
It's an add-on for a CNC router
Thanks@@BoulayWoodworks
The Vortex is an add on that works in conjunction with your router.
Are there wiring instructions for a onefinity cnc router?@@SienciLabs
