vcalve shopbot editor.
VCarve Pro V9.0 ShopBot Edition provides a powerful but intuitive software solution for cutting parts on a ShopBot CNC Router. There are tools for 2D design and calculation of 2D and 2.5D toolpaths and along with the ability to import and toolpath a single 3D model (STL, OBJ etc.). There is also support to import multiple Vectric Clip Art 3D models (V3M) to create 3D assemblies.
The software can import 2D designs from other programs but also provides a full set of drawing and editing tools.
after joining all part DXF file.
Editting tabs in order to avoid bouncing of material.
After calcaluting all profile and pocket.
Switch of control box and display of speed.
Putting and adjusting material.
