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. Vectric’s software supports job and material setup for single-sided, double-sided, and rotary projects, accommodating a wide range of CNC applications. Extensive online video tutorials, a vibrant user forum, and regular software updates ensure users stay productive and informed.
