Which I could, of course, do with 3dsMax bump mapping, but that’s not a terribly efficient way to do it. I also have some relief mapping (from photos) ideas I’d like to play with. I have V-carve (like version 5.xx, I never upgraded) and I used PW back in the day when I started, so I should be somewhat familiar with the toolpathing functions in both. Since I’ll more or less be starting from zero in either, just looking for learned opinions.
ARTCAM 2015 PRO HOW TO
stl file to a friend to do my toolpaths in Aspire or AlphaCamīut I’m very interested in learning how to do reliefs in Aspire or CarveCo. I do all my 3d work in 3dsMax and send my. What do you really need?I really don’t need either.

What kind of work exactly are you expecting to do in either software that you are not doing now? If all you need to do is cut 3D and not actually create or modify 3D reliefs, then VCP has all the bases covered for 1/3 the price of Aspire and half the price of CarveCo. (The bar has gotten lower over the years - sorry 3D clipart you flooded in polyurethane ain't "it") If you don't truly do the work and spend the time to learn the software, without fooling yourself, you'll be stuck in dilbert land cutting pre-made 3D clip art and not much else 3D. Buying one over the other doesn't matter. I think it's important to mention, just like a CNC, the software comes with ZERO talent. This is why I never let price be the ultimate decision maker for any tool. The most expensive thing you can do is buy the cheap one and then realize you hate it and have to get the other one.so you wind up spending twice as much. Some are ok with Ryobi while others have to have top of the line. Compare the interface & feature lists between the two and pick one.Įveryone has their own reasons for buying a certain brand tool. There's a very thin sliver of power users out there that would benefit from using one over the other. The intro pricing on CarveCo is why I suddenly feel a sense of urgency.What kind of work exactly are you expecting to do in either software that you are not doing now?Įither one will most likely do everything that you want. To expand on my reasons for being so interested.Īspire has been on my "gonna buy" since I did my machine makeover at the end of last year.

If you're a CNC professional (or CNC junkie) - it's definitely worth having a look.
For me, it's a steal - and I can keep on supporting my ArtCAM customers going forward. It's essentially the top version of the last iteration of ArtCAM 2018 Premium with ArtREAD and all the Jewelsmith functionality.

I also don't think that you necessarily have to chose one over the other.you can use both and there is a lot of cross over between the two with similar hotkeys and general workflow.įYI - It was a full $9,000 back in 2008 for ArtCAM with ArtREAD and a dongle. I know that probably doesn't offer a whole lot of clarity - but I don't think you can sum it all up in a Chevy vs Ford debate. They each bring their own set of tools to the party. The advanced toolpathing options in CarveCo can drastically improve the finish quality of certain types of reliefs. The 2-sided functionality in the newer versions of VCP and Aspire and rotary axis operations are very good and easy to set up.
This lets you retain all of the organic character of your model - including a slip of the chisel or fine surface texture, if that's the artist's intention, without the cold, hard-edged plastic shapes typical of most other CAD programs, like F360 or say Rhino.

Both are fairly unique in the CAD/CAM world since they give you the ability to sculpt your 3D model using voxels (3D pixels) - which allows complete free form control over your model. I also have a lot of 'old' CNC guys who cut their teeth on the DelCAM stuff that still use ArtCAM because they didn't see the need to learn a new program.Īs a power user of both programs - they each have their place and both are very capable. I have a lot of jewelers who use my scanning services that still use ArtCAM (because of the Jewelsmith functionality) - so CarveCo is a real life line for those guys. I would say that Aspire is probably easier to learn if you aren't already familiar with this type of CAD/CAM. As a user of ArtCAM since v5.5 and Aspire since its inception - they're similar in a lot of ways, but different. I'm not sure that a comparison video would really tell the whole story. This includes custom video training showing how to setup and machine your 3D scanned part, just like we have been offering for the Vectric suite of software and ArtCAM Pro, since the beginning. IBILD Solutions is now offering full support for CarveCo users and continued support for ArtCAM users. CarveCo or Aspire?I'll reiterate what I have answered elsewhere:
