Design and make machinist

[cusoak]

Is D&M Machinist a free soft ware that we can download and then buy project packages from to use in Vcarve desktop.
Is this correct.
I want to up grade to Vcarve desktop from cut2d desktop.

On the page about it here http://www.designandmake.com/index.php/software/ it says "If you do not already own Vectric Machining software, Design & Make Machinist, allows you to preview and create 3D toolpaths for any models you have downloaded free or purchased from our store." That would lead me to believe it is a stand alone program. Others with more knowledge I'm sure will chime in.

Now I'm curious and can't determine - can you combine individual models, say from the wildlife collection for example https://todd-bailey.squarespace.com/wil ... collection, and carve them, with this? I'm still on the pretty dense side with 3D stuff.

Walt, yes you can mix and match D&M models to your hearts extents. In Aspire, at least, you can even add them to STL files.

Walt is talking about a specific program that D&M provide free for machining their models to those who don't own vcarve or aspire rather than the actual use of the models themselves

Guessing it is the same program that vectorart3d use to provide, sorry Walt can't help with any detail about D&M Machinist
