A design and toolpath package for routed and carved work that turns flat artwork into relief models, with the Pro sheet size limits removed and the full clipart and texture library included.

Overview

What this release is

This sits in a specific corner of the manufacturing world, the one occupied by sign makers, furniture shops, guitar builders, and anyone running a router table. It covers the whole path from drawing to cutting file, and it does so with an interface aimed at woodworkers rather than at engineers, which is why it dominates small shops.

The relief modelling is the reason to choose the Pro tier over the simpler product. A flat drawing, a photograph, or a piece of clipart becomes a three dimensional relief through a set of shaping tools that push, blend, smooth, and layer surfaces without any conventional modelling knowledge. A carved panel that would take a modeller an afternoon takes twenty minutes here.

Toolpath coverage handles what a router table needs. Profiling with tabs, pocketing, drilling, v carving with automatic depth from line width, prism carving, fluting, inlay with the fit allowance calculated for you, and both rough and finish passes for relief work. Two sided machining is supported with alignment handled by the software rather than by eye.

Nesting places parts across a sheet to reduce waste, the simulation shows the cut result against the real material with the chosen tool, and the post processor collection covers essentially every hobby and small shop controller. The library of clipart, textures, and modelling components is included in full.

Feature set

What you get

Relief modelling

Turn a drawing, photograph, or clipart element into a carved relief with shaping tools rather than conventional modelling.

V carving

Automatic depth from line width for carved lettering and detail, which is the tool most sign work runs on.

Inlay toolpaths

Male and female parts calculated with the fit allowance included so pieces actually seat together.

Two sided machining

Flip and align handled by the software with registration built into the job rather than measured by eye.

Nesting

Automatic part placement across a sheet to cut material waste on production runs.

Full library

The complete clipart, texture, and modelling component collection included with the package.

Changes in this build

What changed

Relief modelling tools extended with additional blending and smoothing modes
Faster toolpath calculation on large relief surfaces
Nesting improved on irregular part shapes
Post processor collection updated with additional small shop controllers
Fixed the simulation mismatch on jobs using tapered ball nose tools

Installation

How to install it

Disable real time protection before extracting the archive.
Extract to a short path and run setup as administrator.
Install the clipart and component library when offered, since much of the modelling workflow relies on it.
Apply the included activation step before the first launch.
Check the post processor matches your controller before cutting anything, and simulate every job first.

Questions

Before you start

What does the Pro tier add?

Unrestricted sheet sizes, two sided machining, rotary axis support, and the full relief modelling tool set.

Will it drive my machine?

Through the post processor collection, which covers essentially every hobby and small shop controller in common use.

Can it import vector artwork?

Yes, from the common vector formats, and it will clean up open contours on import.

Is the clipart library included?

Yes, the full collection of clipart, textures, and modelling components ships in the package.
