Vectric VCarve – Desktop

CNC manufacturing can now be a more enjoyable and productive experience thanks to Vectric. VCarve Desktop gives you all the functionality of Cut2D Desktop plus the ability to create designs with VCarving, textures as well as the ability to import and machine unlimited Vectric 3D clipart or single model files. VCarve Desktop edition is designed for small CNC machines and is aimed at hobby or non-production environments. Features 3D Machining Import single 3D model files (STL, OBJ, 3DM, SKP, etc Ability to import 2D vector files and bitmap images from other programs Single-Sided, Double Sided & Wrapped Rotary Job Types 2.5D Toolpaths: V-Carving, Prism Carving, Mouldings, Textures, Fluting and Chamfer Toolpath Optimized clearance tools in VCarving FREE 2D 3D Clipart worth $2000 Complete set of 2D Design and Layout Tools Photo VCarving toolpath strategy 2D Toolpaths: Profiling, Pocketing, Drilling, Inlays, Quick Engraving and Thread Milling Toolpath Optimized Clearance Tools in VCarving Ability to simulate the toolpaths before cutting Vast Tool Database Tool database Ability to simulate Toolpaths Maximum work area of 609 x 609mm Key Strengths of VCarve Desktop   Wrapped Rotary Machining Enables the use of a rotary axis (also called a 4th axis or indexer). Where you can create rotary projects and visualize your job in a wrapped environment, with the ability to create and simulate the toolpaths in an auto-wrapped simulation       3D View Component Manipulation Many of the dynamic component editing tools can be accessed directly from the 3D view. This allows 3D objects to be moved, scaled and rotated. In addition how they combine with other shapes can be adjusted along with their height and even adding a tilt or fade. Editing the components in the 3D view makes it quick and easy to see the immediate effect of the changes to the composite model and so reduce the time it takes to create a 3D layout.       Advanced Text Tools The ‘advanced text’ tools let you access true type or open type fonts on your PC to create text outlines for your design. In addition, the software comes with a selection of specialist single-stroke / stick engraving fonts for efficient machining when making things like badges or small signs. When creating text you are able to see live feedback of the text that you create and edit. The text can be controlled using automatic sizing and layout options. There are also editing tools for fitting text to a curve and interactive text arcing and spacing (kerning) where the text maintains formatting, allowing you to easily make edits after the text has been created. This text can be dragged dynamically along a curve so you can perfect the placement of your text.     Vector Shape Creation The software has a comprehensive set of drawing tools to let you easily create vectors from scratch or add to imported data. These include options for creating standard shapes (circle, ellipse, rectangle, polygon, and star) along with line, curve and arc drawing tools. There is also a powerful tool to create vector textures for panels and backgrounds. These tools can be controlled using typed input to create exact-sized objects or can be used dynamically with the mouse to sketch your artwork. The tools also take advantage of the ‘snapping’ to let you use points on existing objects to ‘snap’ onto when you are drawing vectors.
