The clipart tab also allows you to access the online clipart that comes free with the software, where the clipart can be downloaded directly from the running software (providing you have internet access). This tab includes the library browser that allows you to add folders containing 3D components into the software or you can use the local files option that allows you to quickly see the contents of several folders of 3D components in one place. This allows you to easily re-use previously created shapes in new projects. Employment Opportunity / RFQ (Request for Quote).The clipart tab provides quick and convenient access to Vectric files containing 3D components or 2D vector artwork.Education - Forum for Technicians and Engineers.In theory anything that can be done in one of Vectric's applications can be done in the rest of them, in reality, working in V-Carve Pro or Aspire's CAD interface is by far the simplest method of "getting the job done". Essentially Cut3D allows a 4th Axis, and imports Vector drawings at what-ever "view point" they were "saved" from, and reconciling that view point to a simple 2D profile is difficult at best.
I would look at Cut2D, V-Carve Pro or Aspire to begin with. While "Cut3D" is a very powerful application, it is by far the least intuitive of their venue. Of the applications I have used, the Vectric offerings are the only ones I have found even remotely intuitive. Sadly every "tutorial" I have followed (CAMBAM, VECTRIC, BOBCAD-CAM, EDGECAM, MASTERCAM, RHINO3D and a few others) make "following the tutorial" very simple, but the reality of "starting from scratch" is quite different as a newbie. I have had NO LUCK importing vector drawings from various CAD programs to any of Vectric's software (I am certain this is some flaw in my methodology), but using either Aspire or V-Carve Pro, it is very easy to "re-draw" a part and define tool-paths (I would STRONGLY advise watching their videos). V-Carve Pro is (best I can tell) as much a CAD program as it is a CAM program. All of the software (Including Vectrics) is powerful, and therefore assumes you have some idea what you are doing.ĭO NOT assume if "Cut2D" is "good", that you should get "Cut3D", this would be a HUGE mistake. The Vectric software is certainly the most user friendly I have run across, but you need to understand that in the world of CAD/CAM, "user-friendly" is kind of like taking a crash course in jet-fuel engineering and suddenly making the quantum leap to designing jet engines, LOL. I am lucky to be in a unique position of having been able to try-out several CAD/CAM packages. I have a great deal of experience with embedded controllers & software in general, but have found the world of CAM & Controllers to be a-typical of most software/firmware environments.
