Poly Bird

Welcome to the Labs sessions with David! We love to make and share projects with our community and enjoy nothing more than providing you with FREE monthly CNC projects that you can download and cut for yourself!

Each project comes with its own video for you to watch telling the story of what we’re making from start to finish. It includes technical software footage, machining each part in the Labs and finishing the project, and as an added bonus, we throw in a few tips based on our experience! We would love to see what you turned this project into so download the files from your V&CO account then share what you’ve made on the Vectric Forum.

Fancy adding a splash of personality to a bare wall? In this brand new Vectric Spark project, David shows you how to turn a single sheet of colourful board into a striking piece of low-poly wall art — all with just one tool.

Poly Bird is built entirely around a single V-Bit, so there’s no tool changing and no fuss. David will walk you through designing the geometric, faceted bird, then using a single V-carve toolpath to cut clean lines that reveal the contrasting colour beneath the surface. It’s a brilliant way to see just how much detail and impact you can get from one simple tool.

Using easily sourced materials like Valchromat or painted MDF, this is an affordable, low-effort project with big visual results — perfect for brightening up your own space or making a thoughtful handmade gift. So why wait? Cut your own Poly Bird and give your walls something to sing about.
