I doubt that Aspire will ever have that, but Fusion does, so it’s worth me jumping through a few hoops. But at some point you have to ask “why not just get the program that has what you need built in?” I use Fusion for many things including electronic circuit design. I would bet that scripts could be done for other high-level operations as well. Even if I get back to it and make it work, that’s just one operation. Unfortunately that’s on hold while my life takes a few detours. In another thread, I was talking about creating a script that would duplicate or at least approximate Advanced V-Carve for Fusion. Advanced V-Carve) have to be done with Fusion’s own primitives. As a result some of the canned solutions that the other programs have built in (e.g. I will say that Fusion is a commercial grade solution with more capability than I will ever use, but it is NOT tailored to the CNC-router hobbyist.

I don’t own the other programs so I can’t answer your question definitively. These opinions are my own and I have absolutely nothing to do with either of the companies (just a little disclaimer). Both programs have tutorials on youtube but again I found Vcarve to have much more available on youtube and their website than Carveco. Use both simultaneously to design and create tool paths for a specific project and see which you find more to your liking.

Carveco’s monthly subscription is fairly inexpensive and a great way to try it out to see if you like it and Vcarve has a mostly fully functional trial version. Also I found using Vcarve Pro’s CAM side of the program much easier than Carveco’s. I decidedly liked Vcarve’s interface much more and found it much easier to remember what and were all the functions are for design. However, I agree with Chip that it really depends on personal preference and what kind of interface you like or are used to. Ultimately, for me, Vcarve Pro was much easier to learn and was more intuitive to use.

I subscribed to Carveco for a few months and also worked with the Vcarve Pro trial simultaneously while I was waiting for my machine. Money is always a concern but the difference in price between Vcarve-pro and Carveco Maker + is not so great that it concerns me.Īny advice from users who can share the good, the bad and the ugly, will be greatly appreciate. Precision is important (but I suspect that’s more of a machine concern than CAD concern)

I have both MAC and Windows systems, so that’s not a concern. Lots of pocket routing for components, inlays and such.ģD sculpting of guitar bodies (Two sided) My primary use of the CNC will be for guitar building. Generally I know WHAT I want to do, but have a hard time with the the jargon and can’t effectively navigate a new application because I don’t know what the application calls what I want to do. I live in the technology sector and am not afraid of tech or complexity so long as there are tutorials and help topics. I am looking at the OneFinity accessories page and would like some real world feedback on which package is best for me today and after I get a bit more experience. I thought a good use of time would be to obtain and become familiar with a design package.

I am new to the CNC router world & still waiting for my OneFinity CNC.
