Aspire
Aspire provides all the functionality and ease of use of Vectric's powerful VCarve Pro program for doing production routing and in addition has the ability to create 3D relief models from 2D data. Aspire's unique 3D component modeling coupled with the comprehensive set of 2D design and editing tools make it easy to work with existing 2D data or imported 3D models as well as giving you the ability to create your own 2D and 3D parts from scratch. Dimensional shapes can be created, edited and joined to build your final design. In addition you can import and modify existing 3D data and clipart, this can be combined with 2D data and a large selection of toolpath options to enable your CNC to make a huge range of parts.
Aspire is built on the same platform as Vectric's VCarve Pro software, sharing the intuitive interface and ease of use for production design and routing. In addition to the powerful drawing and production routing tools of VCarve Pro, Aspire also has tools to let you transform 2D sketches, photos, drawing and digital artwork into detailed 3D relief models and then to calculate 3D Roughing and Finishing toolpaths to accurately cut these shapes.
Aspire is an elegant solution to the complex problem of designing and machining 2D, 2.5D and 3D parts with a CNC.
