If you end up needing some 2D models for CNC we have that too with our Carbide 3D Design Elements File Types for 3D Modelsįirst, there's nothing special about models for CNC compared to models for any other use, like 3D printing or animation. Here's some preliminary information to help you get started with files for 3D CNC. While we're talking most specifically about our CNC machines, the information applies to all CNC routers and desktop CNC machines. While there are an unlimited number of CNC projects that are strictly 2D, our Shapeoko CNC Router and Nomad Desktop CNC are both capable of running full 3D projects and many users eventually decide that they'd like to try something more challenging.
Most of our customers start with 2D projects on their CNC machine.
