If you’ve ever wondered what kind of designs that people create when using Cadworxlive.com, there’s a forum on the website where some users have posted photos. This one caught my eye, since it uses an interesting combination of metallic and matte CAD-CUT materials. After cutting and heat applying the different layers, additional “bling” was added, [...]
