VCarve Pro is software for cutting parts on a CNC Router. Includes tools for 2D design and calculation of 2D and 2.5D toolpaths and has the ability to import and toolpath a single 3D model (STL, OBJ etc.). Also supports import of multiple Vectric Clip Art 3D models (V3M) to create 3D assemblies.
VCarve is used in multiple WSE courses. Requested by Ruth Fore.
One license purchased with TCF funds allows for installation on up to 40 computers in ONE computer classroom. It is installed after imaging to the lab where the course is offered.
