Potpourri Bowl Designed in Aspire

This is the first in a series of two videos where I demonstrate how to create a two sided Potpourri Bowl from idea to reality using the 3D modeling capabilities of Vectric’s Aspire software.

In this first video I will take you step-by-step through the process of how to model a bowl to hold potpourri. But, this lesson is not limited to this type of bowl.

It is detailed enough that you should be able to create other bowls with the knowledge gained. Only your imagination will be the limit.

What You Will Learn:

👉 How to create the components on both sides to make the potpourri bowl. This knowledge and skill is transferrable to other bowls.

👉 How to create and use a “Limit Plane” to setup for proper tool path operations

👉 How to create and use 3D Tabs to hold your project while carving

👉 How to setup the “rough” and “finishing” tool paths to achieve smooth finishes and minimize sanding.

👉 Holding techniques to allow carving a 2.5″ thick bowl on your CNC

👉 Designing Alignment methods to allow succesful carving of both sides of a two sided project.
