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, Moulding Toolpaths, Fluting and even a decorative Texturing strategy.

VCarve Desktop can import 2D designs from other programs but also provides a full set of drawing and editing tools.

If you need to to create projects bigger than 24' x 24 please look into this other solutions from Vectric: VCarve Pro / Aspire It can only output G-Code for toolpaths no greater than 24” x 24”. The ‘Desktop’ edition is designed for small CNC machines, aimed at hobby or non-production environments.

VCarve Desktop gives you the power to produce complex 2D patterns with profile, pocket, drill and inlay toolpaths, plus gives you the ability to create designs with v-carving textures as well as import and machine unlimited Vectric 3D clipart or single model files.

Overall it's amazing design and cam software, I hope they implement comprehensive hot keys or keyboard mapping.

I use other programs to align tricky to align parts (now that's inefficiency at work). Almost no aspect of the program works quite like I want to use it, from how the nest function decides what constitutes a part and what's a feature of a part, to how it's move or rotate options are presented. The design process is clunky and inefficient(for me). To be fair I probably design and draw things up differently than how this program was designed to be used, but a little compromise on vcarves end would make my job a lot easier I feel like this is the most amazing stupidest software ever, with outstanding features coupled with interface challenges. Overall: Almost great software hobbled by a lack of key mapping. No adaptive milling (you can't have everything). The tool path menu doesn't display all of the information that i find relevant, I'm looking at you tool number. No ability to add sheets to a job without the nest function.

Poor layer menu that I can't seem to nest on the screen where I like it. With no way to map the keyboard to the drawing icons or the vector selector. Its biggest flaw is a lack of comprehensive hot keys and keyboard mapping. Various export formats, multiple 3d format imports.Ĭhamfer tool paths, v-carve tool paths, fluting tool paths, and all sorts of texturing effects.Īn easy way into import different tooling.Ĭons: Almost great because the software is hobbled by some design decisions I don't understand. Pros: Almost great design and CAM software.Įxcellent toolpath control and toolpath options,Īn ability to have multiple sheets in one file,īump increments that dynamically change based on zoom.
