What is VCarve?

Vectric VCarve is an advanced CNC software package designed for producing detailed 2.5D decorative carvings and machining complex parts on CNC routers. It features a wide range of toolpath strategies such as v-carving, chamfering, fluting, prism, moulding, and supports importing 3D models for machining, making it versatile for both artistic and functional projects. The Desktop edition is perfect for hobbyists and small businesses with CNC machines up to 24”x24”, while the Pro edition provides unlimited job sizes and adds powerful production tools like true shape nesting, toolpath merging, job setup sheets, keep-out zones, and gadget automation. VCarve offers a comprehensive suite of drawing tools, bitmap editing and cropping, image vectorization, and advanced text controls including kerning and live editing feedback. Realistic 3D previews with material textures enable users to simulate machining operations and create compelling client visuals. The built-in tool database manages cutter properties and machining parameters, syncing across machines via V&Co accounts for seamless workflow. Additional capabilities include rotary axis machining, production plate engraving, array copy toolpaths, and customizable toolpath templates to improve efficiency.

What is FreeMILL?

FreeMILL is a no-cost milling module that functions within our commercial CNC software, tailored specifically for programming CNC mills and routers. This completely free CAM software places no limits on duration, attempts, file saving, or lines of code! Users are empowered to generate toolpaths that guide the cutting tool along a series of parallel planes to achieve their desired shapes. Moreover, it facilitates the creation of both Roughing and Finishing toolpaths and offers comprehensive simulation capabilities for cutting and material processes. One of its notable features is the ability to output G-code compatible with your chosen CNC milling machine. Established in 1997, MecSoft Corporation stands at the forefront of developing both standalone and integrated CAD/CAM software solutions that serve the needs of the subtractive (CNC machining) and additive (3D printing) manufacturing industries. With its headquarters located in Irvine, CA, MecSoft is dedicated to delivering user-friendly, robust, and economical CAD/CAM software that addresses the various demands of its clientele.
