Vcarve Pro
Toolpath Preview
One of the most important productivity tools available in VCarve Pro is the realistic 3D toolpath preview
support. The results of all toolpaths can be previewed cutting into a 3D model. This means that whether your
job is a simple toolpath with one tool, or created from a complex combination of tools and strategies at
different levels you can be sure that when the job is cut, it is right first time.
As well as showing that the toolpaths are correct, the high quality rendering and ability to use real world
material textures and fill colors is a very valuable sales tool. Using the simulation you can create customer
proofs and evaluate design options without actually having to cut anything!

V-Carving
V-Carving uses a constant angled cutter that's moved at flowing variable depth to create a 3D carved effect
on the job, similar to the way a craftsman would work by hand.
The extremely fast and robust VCarving engine within VCarve Pro handles complex designs with ease.
Complicated designs that 'choke' many other CAM programs, often requiring the design to be cut in sections,
or that can take more than 15 minutes to calculate are typically handled by VCarve Pro in one go, in
seconds! As well as the fast calculation speed and robust handling of data, we have been told by many of
our users that the resulting toolpaths run much smoother than those calculated by their previous program -

and try it for yourself using your own data.
As well as 'simple' VCarving, VCarve Pro supports many advanced VCarving strategies, such as 'Flat
Bottomed' v-carving, optionally using a second flat bottom tool to optimally clear out the flat areas. Another
advanced capability is the support for v-carving areas wider than the tool by making multiple clearance
passes to achieve the required depth.

Text
VCarve Pro can create single lines or blocks of text using any True Type font installed on your computer.
The advanced 'Auto Layout' feature allows you to constrain a block of text to a rectangular area of the
design. This is a massive time saver when laying out designs where it is not the size of the text that matters,
but that the text fits in with the design. With this feature, changing the text on a house sign from 'The Smiths'
to 'The Higginbottoms' takes seconds with the software automatically scaling the text to fit the area on the
design reserved for the name.
After entering text, the individual letter kerning and line spacing can be edited interactively in real time using
the text cursor. Simply clicking between two letters will decrease the spacing, shift + click increases the
spacing.
Lines of text can also be interactively wrapped around an arc to create arched text either upwards or
downwards.

2D Profiling
Using the profiling toolpath strategy, objects can be cut out quickly and efficiently. Simply select the shapes
you wish to profile, select the tool from the tool database and VCarve Pro will do the rest. VCarve Pro
automatically offsets for the tool radius and sorts nested shapes to ensure that inner shapes such as the
center of a letter 'O' are cut before the outer shape. Full control of cut direction is offered along with either
automatic or manual control of tool entry point for each shape.
Cutouts can be done in multiple passes depending on the maximum cutting depth of the tool used and a
positive or negative allowance can be specified to either 'under cut' or 'overcut' the shape if required.
A very powerful feature is the ability to specify that square corners are required. This is often used when
profiling with a V-Bit tool, where with a conventional toolpath the tool will 'roll' round a sharp external corner
leaving a radius on the chamfer created by the tool, with the 'square corners' option an angular chamfer will
be created. See the beveled letter option below for an example showing where this feature is used.

Interactive Tabs / Bridges

The tabs / bridging feature in VCarve Pro is both very powerful and easy to use. When cutting out jobs from
sheet material, small 'tabs' or 'bridges' can be inserted along the final profile cut to hold the pieces in place.
After machining is finished, the tabs can be easily cut or broken to free the part. The tabs in VCarve Pro can
be specified either automatically by entering a minimum and maximum number of tabs to insert along with a
distance between tabs, or manually, by clicking on the profile with the mouse. Even if tabs are entered
automatically their placement can still be changed by either clicking on them with the mouse and dragging
them to the required location, or click once to delete an existing tab and click once on a location where you
want to insert a new one - it really is that simple!
Because the tab positions are specified on the original geometry being machined, rather than the toolpath
itself like many other CAM systems do, recalculating a toolpath with a different tool or selection of vectors
etc. does not loose all your carefully entered tabs!
Yet another advanced feature is the ability to specify 3D Tabs. With this style of tab, instead of the tool
stopping at the start of the tab, retracting to the tab thickness, moving at the tab thickness for the length of
the tab and then plunging back to the cut depth, the tool makes a smooth 3d move up to the tab thickness at
the center of the tab and back down again over the remaining tab length. This approach gives much
smoother profiling passes, as the CNC machine does not have to make any sharp changes of direction. In
addition, the resulting tabs are usually easier to remove as well, with less marking of the job.

Pocketing
VCarve Pro makes creating pocketing toolpaths quick and easy. Just select all the vectors defining your
geometry and the program will sort the vectors to identify islands automatically and offset the boundaries for
the selected tool radius.
If the Z depth of the pocket exceeds the specified maximum allowed cutting depth for the tool in a single
pass, VCarve Pro will generate multiple passes.
Either climb or conventional cutting directions can be specified in order to produce the best edge finish for
your selection of material and cutter.

Drilling
VCarve Pro includes an easy to use drilling toolpath strategy. Whether you are drilling a single hole or
hundreds, just select the vectors representing the holes and VCarve Pro will drill the center of each vector to
the specified depth. The grouping feature in VCarve Pro makes it easy to associate all vectors for a
particular toolpath strategy together. The tool database includes a dedicated drill tool type so that the true
tool geometry can be seen in the toolpath previews.
As well as a single Z plunge, VCarve Pro also supports Peck Drilling, which drills to a specified depth,
retracts the tool, drills down to the next step, retracts the tool and so on until the required finish depth is
reached.

Beveled Letters
A feature many of our customers had asked us for was the ability to created attractive 'beveled letters' with
both sharp inside and outside corners. With VCarve Pro this is now both possible and easy!
To produce these letters, a V-Bit tool is used to create the 'beveled' edge and VCarve Pro automatically
calculates the 3D moves required to create the sharp corners in the inside of the shapes. For the outside
corners, VCarve Pro offers the option of either rounded or square corners, with most people preferring the
look of the square corners.
As these letters are often cut out with a straight sided tool after the beveling is done, VCarve Pro
automatically calculates the offset required for the cut out tool. Remember, the Tabs feature can be used on
the profile cut out feature to ensure your beautiful letters don't break loose during the cut out process and
become damaged by the cutter.

Texturing
VCarve Pro includes a unique feature for creating efficient 3D textures using the tool geometry. Typically up
until now, creating a 3D texture on a job required access to an expensive modeling program to create the 3D
texture. However, once you had your 3D model, your problems were only just beginning, as these textures
usually had to be machined with a small 'ball nose' tool to reproduce the 3d form accurately, resulting in
extremely long machining times.
VCarve Pro adopts a unique approach to solving this problem, by generating the texture directly using the
shape of the cutter. In addition the texture toolpath generator can 'randomize' a number of key parameters to
generate unique 'hand carved' looking textures which still machine extremely efficiently.
Textures can also 'trimmed' to a vector boundary allowing the creation of stunning jobs with unique textures
in the background. This approach not only creates a unique hand carved look to your projects, but also
almost eliminates tedious sanding which may be required in a flat background of a pocketed recess.

File Import / Export

VCarve Pro can import data from a huge range of other design programs using a variety of industry standard
file formats. These include DXF, EPS, AI as well as PDF files if they contain vector data. Once imported into
VCarve Pro the program has a wide range of tools to make working with this data as efficient as possible.
These tools allow you to group vectors together, edit nodes, cut and join vectors, resize vectors, mirror
vectors, align vectors etc.
A very important set of tools are those used to identify duplicate vectors and identify and rejoin open vectors.
These tool can save an enormous amount of time when working with poor quality data. We have had
customers creating toolpaths on imported data in minutes which they had spent hours trying to fix up in other
programs. Download the trial version and see for yourself.
As well as importing data from other programs, VCarve Pro offers the ability to export your data in either
DXF, EPS or AI file formats. This feature can often be a life saver if a customer requests say some drawings
for a sign in order to plan a layout.

Molding Cutters
VCarve Pro allows you to add your own custom tools shapes to the tool library and generate toolpaths and
simulate the finished result!
Now you can simulate the effects of complex Roman Ogee cutters, Round Over bits and any other custom
tool shape you desire. Simply draw the tool profile in VCarve Pro or import the profile from another program
and you can add your custom tool to the tool database. In the tool database you can specify feed rates,
spindle speeds, cutting depths etc. in the same way that you do for any of the standard tool types.

And Much More ...

We have only been able to give a brief overview of some of VCarve Pro's capabilities here. To really
understand the speed, ease of use and full capabilities of VCarve Pro, please download the trial version and
try it for yourself with your own data.

We have produced a number of tutorials including videos to get you up and running as quickly as possible.
We supply a number of standard demonstration files which you can scale and cut on your own machine
using your own tooling to verify the quality of the toolpaths produced from VCarve Pro. In addition to the
standard demonstration files we supply, you can load any of your own data files and preview them using the
standard toolpath simulation capabilities of the program.
We have had a number of customers who have 'sold' the job they used to pay for the software on the basis
of the previews from the toolpath simulation in the trial version. To see for yourself the quality of simulation
produced by VCarve Pro take a look at some of the examples in the gallery area of this web-site.
