Description
This is the desktop version of V Carve, which is different than VCarve Pro. V Carve Pro is about double the price and includes some additional features that are more apt to a production environment (such as part nesting). The main difference is that VCarve Desktop is limited to a 24×24″ work area, which is perfect for most of our machines. (The Power Route has a slightly larger movement range than this). Click here for a full comparison of Vectric VCarve Desktop vs VCarve Pro.
VCarve allows you to create an exciting 3D carving from a simple 2D image. Routing or engraving using standard tools produces square-edged cuts of a set depth. If you want to replicate the subtlety of hand-carving for more delicate work then VCarve is an ideal and simple solution. VCarve uses a 'V'-pointed engraving tool and automatically. There are 4104 vcarve for sale on Etsy, and they cost $4.64 on average. The most common vcarve material is wood. The most popular color?
