Vectric VCarve is a powerful and affordable 2D vector CAD/CAM program that is easy to learn and Vectric's most popular program. VCarve includes the functionality required for complex work in an easy-to-use and affordably priced. The software is widely used by cabinet makers, wood workers, sign makers, prop makers, plastic fabricators, hobbyists.
Ideal for use with a CNC router
VCarve Pro is intuitive and easy to learn, with all the features and capabilities to get the most out of your CNC router. The software includes tools for 2D CAD design, and can calculate 2D and 2.5D toolpaths. You can also import and create toolpaths for 2D and 3D models, and VCarve support Vectric Clip Art 3D models, enabling you to create 3D assemblies.
Customizable tools and toolpaths
The tool library allows you to edit, create, and modify the specifications of cutters you use with your CNC router. A handy notes field lets you record information about each cutter.
Vectric's Aspire software is built on the same platform as VCarve Pro software, using the same intuitive interface for production design and routing. On top of the powerful drawing and production routing tools that VCarve Pro uses, Aspire has tools to transform 2D sketches, photos, drawings and digital artwork into detailed 3D relief models.
Ideal for creating a wide range of products such as decorative panels, doors, custom millwork, architectural mouldings, signs, logos, awards, and other ornamental details.
Create or edit 2D or 3D models
Aspire's 3D component modeling capability paired with a comprehensive set of 2D tools allow you to work with imported 2D or 3D models, or create them from scratch.
Interface for 3D component design
Aspire's single interface for 3D component design and machining let you draw and build 3D models easily, and logically. Individiual parts of complex designs can be modified - moved, scaled, resized, rotated, tilted, faded or distorted - without having to recreate the entire component.
Once created, Aspire can help calculate combinations of 2D and 3D toolpaths to ensure high quality machined results.
The interactive 3D shape modelling tools allow you to build 3D shapes from 2D vectors and make it easy to test different settings and result and changes to the part's shape, height or inclination are automatically updated in the 3D view so you can see the result, eliminating any guessing and facilitating the creation of high-quality models.
Materials pallate
Choose from a variety of different materials and colours for the 3D model to produce realistic previews for customer quotations or digital or print marketing.
Includes over 30 hours of tutorials
Learn the operation of the software with tutorial videos with real-world examples that clearly demonstrate all aspects of VCarve Desktop. The files used in the examples are also provided so that you can replicate what you've learned to reinforce that knowledge.
