Segmenting Session Meeting Spring 2024
Follow Along Segmenting Software Demonstration:

We have had several  requests for a follow along Woodturner Pro Software demonstration.  On March 19, 6:00 to 8:00.PM the Segmenting Session Meeting will present that topic at the Learning Center. The demo will be hands on, so bring along your lap top with 3D DesignPro, WoodturnerPro, and SegmenterPro software loaded and ready to use. 

See link below for a free 30 day download.

https://woodturnerpro.com

Jess Parrett will design a segmented vessel step by step, first using 3D DesignPro to create the form then transferring that form to WoodturnerPro . Then he will use that software to create a detailed plan, ring by ring, of the vessel. Attendees will be encouraged to make the key strokes following along to familiarize themselves  with the use of the software. 

You  should  leave the session with a basic understanding of the use of the software and a better idea of how to unlock the design potential of this innovative tool.
