AVC308, Axiom Vectric VCarve Pro Software v11.x
VCarve Pro and VCarve Desktop provide a powerful but intuitive software solution for cutting parts on a CNC Router. There are tools for 2D design and calculation of 2D and 2.5D tool paths and along with the ability to import and toolpath a single 3D model (STL, OBJ, etc.). There is also support to import multiple Vectric Clip Art 3D models (V3M) to create 3D assemblies.
The software can import 2D designs from other programs but also provides a full set of drawing and editing tools. The toolpath options cover all typical 2D routing operations such as Profiling, Pocketing, Auto-Inlays, and Drilling as well as 2.5D strategies such as V-Carving, Prism carving, Fluting, and even a decorative Texturing strategy. For 3D you can Rough and Finish the model and there are options to project 2D and 2.5D tool paths onto the 3D surface. Each toolpath includes appropriate options to customize the settings and provide a high level of control for different types of operation. In addition, all tool paths can be previewed to show just how the part will look when it is actually cut, this allows instant feedback to allow tool paths to be further optimized.
