Here we focus on VCarve, but the same integration applies to Aspire (both developed by the same company).<\/p>
Update:<\/strong> we have now partnered with Vectric so you can buy VCarve Pro direct from us, either on its own, with any of our other software packages, or already set up with our CNCs.<\/p> Click here for details and to download VCarve<\/a><\/p> VCarve comes with a large number of post processors for 100s of CNCs already. If they don’t have what you need, the Vectric support team can almost always create a new post processor for you. Contact Vectric<\/a> for confirmation.<\/p> PolyBoard<\/a> and StairDesigner<\/a> output layered DXF files which can be set up to match your particular production methods.<\/p> These files are loaded into VCarve as a project. You then apply a pre-configured template for PolyBoard furniture parts, or for StairDesigner strings, or StairDesigner steps and risers for example.<\/p> Then select the calculate toolpath button and generate the code to run your specific machine which will automatically cut all parts (if you have a nesting CNC) plus the complete machining for your hardware.<\/p> Watch the video below to see how fast and reliable this process is, so much better than calculating your project by hand or in CAD then inputting part dimensions into your CAM software manually.<\/p>Our software integrates with any CAM software that accepts DXF files.<\/h4>
This includes VCarve, one of our favourites as you’ll discover below.<\/h4>
Why so good?<\/h2>
