Aluminium Wall Art

Welcome to the Labs sessions! I’m Beki, a Senior Application Engineer for Vectric. I love to make and I am here to provide you with a FREE monthly project that you can download and cut for yourself!

Each project comes with its own video for you to watch that tells the story of what I am making from start to finish. Including technical software footage, machining the parts in the Labs, finishing the projects and I’ll throw a few tips in based on my experience! Each project comes with the file(s) for you to download from your V&CO account, along with a PDF document that highlights some of the key important steps to help you get through your project. Share what you’ve made on the Vectric Forum.

This month’s special edition of In the Labs features Accounts and Administration Manager Karen! She had a long history working with an Aluminium company before her life at Vectric and she simply asked me “Why don’t we make something out of Aluminium?”

So we’ve created a three piece wall art for you to try for yourself! This project is pretty simple in terms of the vectors and toolpaths, it’s the machining that gets a little bit interesting! As we are cutting aluminium you need to ensure that you are using a form of coolant to keep the tool cool and allow the chips to simply slide out of the way without generating heat.

Which Vectric software do I need to be able to open the free project files?
