What program

Post by SwampTiger29 »

What program should you get besides vcarve pro? Is aspire really worth it or should I get cut 3d. I want to create shadow boxes and be able to engrave symbiosis and things of that nature. Aloe what bit do you recommend for 3d thanks. Swamptiger29

The latest version of VCarve Pro (8.0 and later) can import a single 3D file to add to your part. I believe it can do everything Cut 3D can.

With Aspire you can make your own 3D images and cut them.

Cut 3D can manipulate an existing 3D images and cut it.

Actually VCarve Desktop and VCarve Pro can both import 3d files and they can import more than 1 3d file at a time so you could make a whole picture out of several parts. You can move them around, resize them, slice them and smooth them.

You can not make your own 3d models with VCarve you do need Aspire for that or use a third party software to make your models.
