CNC Project - Inlay using 321 Technique

A wood inlay is the insertion of a cut wood design into a contrasting wood that's cut to receive it. Done well, the results are amazing. Using a CNC and the right technique, results can be predictably good and the designs will look crisp and well-defined. 

 

In this class we teach you the 321 Technique, a process using Vcarve Pro and a CNC to produce tight inlays. In addition you will see the technique demonstrated and have a chance to practice it yourself. You'll be given the opportunity to modify a design with your initials, produce the code for the cut, and actually perform the cut in class. You'll leave with a glued-up project which you can easily finalize during a future shop visit.

 

The class is three hours and requires recent certification or training on our Laguna CNCs.
