Software

We have the Makerspace version of VCarve, which allows you to download the trial version of VCarve and work on your designs from home, then save the file for use at the MakerSpace. More information can be found here.

To use VCarve Pro (either at home or at the makerspace), you will need to create and/or join a Vectric account to the makerspace's organization, using this special link. If you would like to work on your designs at home, you can download the VCarve Pro trial.
