Also, tiling is supported so I can extend work pieces if necessary.

I can live with the 24 x 24 inch size restriction considering the Pro version is twice the price. So I coughed up the CAD $471 to purchase Vcarve Desktop.

The results were perfect and the user interface and functionality are exactly what i need to use the Longmill effectively. I got a test version of Vcarve Desktop and went through a number of tutorials and ran a couple of their demo projects on my Longmill. When I want to design a heavy water pump for a nuclear reactor I will revisit Fusion 360.īased on the premise that time is money, I rethought the idea of buying something instead of wasting effort on either of these two solutions. On the high end is Fusion 360 - very rich functionality but far too complicated to use for simple 2D and 2.5D carving. On the low end was Carbide Create - poor user interface and limited free functionality.

Please remember that these are my opinions only. In the meantime, I spent considerable time trying both ends of the legitimate free CAD/CAM offerings I also sent a message in E-bay to one of the vendors asking about the source of the products and of course got no response. My real intent was to see if anyone had tried it. I agree that it’s a scam and probably pirated. The software is used by cabinet makers, wood workers, sign makers, prop makers, plastic fabricators, hobbyists and in many other applications.OK. VCarve includes the functionality demanded for complex work while remaining incredibly easy to use and affordably priced.

True Shape Nesting for material optimization.

Work on parts larger than 24"x24" (600mm x 600mm).

Pocketing with optimization for 2 cutters.

2D Profiling with Interactive Tabs / Bridges, Lead and Ramp options.

Moulding Toolpaths - to create constant cross section profiles, arches, frames etc.

Vectorize images to create vectors for machining.

Import Multiple Vectric 3D Clip Art Files for Layout and Assembly (V3M file format).

Single 3D File Import (STL, OBJ, 3DM, SKP etc.).

2D File Import - DWG, DXF, EPS, AI, PDF.Text Editing + Single Line Engraving Fonts.

Complete set of 2D Design and Layout Tools.

Two-Sided Machining & Multi-Sided 3D Simulation.

In addition all toolpaths can be previewed to show just how the part will look when it is actually cut, this allows instant feedback to allow toolpaths to be further optimized.

Each toolpath includes appropriate options to customize the settings and provide a high level of control for different types of operation. For 3D you can Rough and Finish the model and there are options to project 2D and 2.5D toolpaths onto the 3D surface. 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.

The software can import 2D designs from other programs but also provides a full set of drawing and editing tools. There is also support to import multiple Vectric Clip Art 3D models (V3M) to create 3D assemblies. There are tools for 2D design and calculation of 2D and 2.5D toolpaths and along with the ability to import and toolpath a single 3D model (STL, OBJ etc.). VCarve Pro and VCarve Desktop provide a powerful but intuitive software solution for cutting parts on a CNC Router.
