Create 3d model in aspire 11

Post by edcross »

Downloaded free trial Aspire 11 , attached is a part i want to model and wrap in ( A axis rotary ). I have watched videos from vcarve to model in Aspire , but they load a 3d model instead of creating the model . I have Desktop pro 11 but from what i read , it will not model the example . Before i spend the money for the upgrade , i want to know i can create models of table legs and such !

Thanks

Ed

Ed, the SHORT answer is yes, but so can V-Carve Pro. Aspire would do it the same way V-Carve would.

You do not need Aspire to create that table leg.

V-Carve Pro 11 can do that as a wrapped rotary project but you may need to be creative as the limitation with Desktop is 24".

HOW to do it will require some learning. Vectric has a GREAT number of tutorials available. You should "STUDY" --- not just watch --- the tutorials on wrapped machining and rotary machining.
Imagine the Possibilities of a Creative mind, combined with the functionality of CNC

Are you sure you don't already have Vcarve pro? There isn't a Desktop pro in Vectrics software titles, it's either Vcarve desktop or Vcarve pro, the Desktop version has a size limit not just the trial but the licenced version although you can exceed 24 inch by tiling I believe.

Check out this tutorial. It explains how to create a spindle/table leg in Aspire.
