Introduction
This week, we will carry out cuts using a CNC router, starting from a design in .DXF format. To perform this process precisely and efficiently, it is essential to have specialized milling software. In our case, we will use the VCarve software, a tool that provides control for material manipulation and cutting, allowing us to translate the digital design into physical pieces with great accuracy.
