Are there any resources you recommend for a beginner getting into CNC and CAD? The last time I did any work in CNC or CAD was in college and that was a while ago. I want to get back into it with a Handibot, but admittedly I am not sure where to begin. Are there beginner projects to help teach fundamentals of CAD and CNC? I appreciate any suggestions to send me in the right direction.https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,926,926#msg-926Mon, 12 Oct 2026 17:28:04 -0400 Phorum 5.2.22 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,926,973#msg-973 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,926,973#msg-973 Bmilanowski Handibot ForumSun, 25 Jan 2015 13:14:19 -0500 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,926,962#msg-962 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,926,962#msg-962
""For those interested in the Vectric CAD/CAM design software that we have been providing with Handibots, because Handibots work exactly as small ShopBots, all the training and documentation on the ShopBot website applies. In particular, there are some great webinars on using the V-carve software that will apply directly to Handibots.

Recently, Core77 has produced a series of "getting started in CNC" videos that make use of both the Vectric software and ShopBot Desktop tool ... I think you will find this all very helpful on the software side. And, the Vectric site itself has wonderful tutorials and a helpful forum.""

I'd say download the trial version of VCarve Pro and start learning it. You could also get Sketchup and get started with it.

The big problem is that like welding there is only so much you can do until you get a torch.]]> Mark Evans Handibot ForumMon, 05 Jan 2015 02:49:03 -0500 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,926,926#msg-926 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,926,926#msg-926 Bmilanowski Handibot ForumSun, 04 Jan 2015 11:49:02 -0500
