Twist Pot

This tip and trick was included at the User Group Meeting in 2015 held in the UK (Wootton Wawen, Warwickshire) and US ( Las Vegas, Nevada).

This video looks at an interesting but simple design to create a stack of parts to make a small container, when assembled with each other the layers create a twisting effect although it is only cut with simple pocket and profile toolpaths. Some of the techniques covered include vector drawing construction, toolpathing a single object before making copies of it and how to use the layers to help automate the toolpath re-calculation.
