Here's another example of what can be done with very little effort using the
PhotoVcarve software.
The size is about 9x7.
Bit was a .04 2 flute ball cutter from Precise Bits.
Cut depth was .08 on a 1/8th inch piece of glacier White Corian.
Speed was 20ipm.
Stepover was at 10%...about 8 hours to cut.
The Vetric team has done a excellent job with this software.

Testing of the new VCarve Pro 3.0 is almost done and it has already proven itself to be a outstanding piece of software. This is by far the best
investment I have made since I entered the home built CNC world.
If you haven't tried this software...I highly recommend it!

Wow, that's really good. Does anyone know what are the limitatons on the trial versions of Vcarve and PhotoVcarve? Thanks.

Astounding! It looks like a photo-etch plate for a printing press.

totally amazing! nice subject as well :)

I recon you could almost earn from one cut like that, the price of the software.

Great example of a great product.

Fantastic work Chuck!

Sanddrag - The Trial versions of VCarve Wizard and PhotoVCarve are fully functional and the sample files can be cut on your own machine. Other designs can be opened, toolpaths calculated and the results previewed, but these toolpaths cannot be saved.

PhotoVCarve will open and machine your own photographs / designs but the results will be watermarked.

VCarve 3.0 will be released before the end of June and the software has been renamed VCarve Pro. This is because the software is now very functional and also includes conventional 2D machining strategies + Drilling etc.

Details of what's in Version 3.0 (http://www.vectric.com/WebSite/Vectric/whats_new/VCarvePro/New_in_V3.htm)

Once VCarve Pro has been released to customers, we will update the Trial version so you can test the new functionality for yourself.

Let me know if you have any questions or we can help in any way.
