Yo you all. what I trying to do is design items for example a piece of jewelry using Blender. From there send the file to be cut on a 4 axis cnc machine. I don't even know what that process of drawing in Blender is called, 3D modeling ?? Is there anyone that can point me in the direction I want to ?? sincerely thank you, Cary
Hello. Yes that would be 3D modeling, you have to learn how to model in 3D if you want to make things for 3D printing. Here's a list of courses starting from the very basics and then ramping up:

Hi Cary CCmjake007 ,
As to get a general idea, you might also want to watch Dafne's presentation at the Blender Conference in 2019:

thank you both so very much !! will follow your leads and any thing else you may feel helpful to me.
hi-
every video I've watched, they all talk about 3D printer. As far as drawing in 3D molding it's the same ? I'll just be exporting the file to a cnc machine, not a 3D printer, yes ??
hmmm.............., would say adobe illustrator be faster for me to learn ?? thank you Omar
hi all !! is there anyway I can put a pic in blender so I can basically trace from it ?? thank you
hello ya'll, anyone be willing to do a zoom.com meeting with me on this ?? It's just not comin to me yet. thanks Cary
K, got a pic in, thanks. In the future, would anyone be willing to do a zoom.com meeting with me on blender ??
