  2. Recession

    .......There is when either side wants to push a narrative, like how good leadership is or is not doing. I know I throw out all kind of false info when they contact me for surveys. Don't get me started on the inaccurate covid numbers that was thrown around the same way by leadership in the...
  3. What Plotter would you recommend?

    I love both my Summa T2s ....a T75 for die cut and my T160 tangential with opos cam for the print/ cut stuff up to 64 inch. I like having printer separate from plotter.
  4. CAD software?

    I used Fusion360, then went to Rhino, then I bought a high end 3d scanner and it was packaged with Solid Edge. Each one has its own advantages. Fusion can be used as a hobbies for free but is cloud based. I didn't like the flow of the program. Rhino is good for free flowing organic shapes...

A customer of mine uses it on car buttons, and wants me to leave transfer tape on as a mask for when he paints around the decal. I use Flexisign leave it in the machine and send...

  9. RhinoCam or BobCam

    Thank you.
  10. RhinoCam or BobCam

    Correct me if I'm wrong but, I don't think Aspire would be necessary if I already have Rhino. VCarve Pro is $699 for 2.5D but is additional $299 for Cut3D add on for 3D toolpaths. Even though Rhino CAM plugins make it easier, they are at least double in price. Both Bobcam and RhinoCam are in...
  11. RhinoCam or BobCam

    I currently trying a demo of Aspire and Vcarve. They are easy to use. Reason I ask about Rhino plug-ins, is I am expanding both into cnc as well as 3d reverse engineering scanning. I like Rhino for 3d and CAD, and was hoping to have 1 universal software for both 3d and CAM. It would be nice to...
  12. RhinoCam or BobCam

    Insurance bought me a new VF2-640 after my landlords building leaked on my old Roland machine. I did have 1 or 2 instnces where I had banding show up in my black. Tech replaced dampers, pumps, and print head and it didnt fix it. We accidentally changed the icc profile and problem went away. Im...

  15. Brick Vinyl

    I've used the same material Mactack streetrap and 3m 3662 and has been on my asphalt in front of my shop for almost 2 yrs now. Even held up to the snow we had. Yes it has to be heated and rolled, once done correctly, it looks just like paint on a wall. They even make vinyl for commercial carpet.

  18. 3d software list

    There is also Rhino 7 but ist $995 to purchase.
  19. pattern making from 3d model, exactflat or alternitives

    Yeah, I looked at Exactflat.... $9900.00 for the software is definitely steep. There are a few software programs that can accomplish the same thing, but its more manual right now.
