Vectric offers free upgrade for new release

Specialist CNC software developer, Vectric, has announced the release of version 8.5 of its range, including its flagship programs V Carve and Aspire

The firm claims that V Carve and Aspire 8.5 offer enhancements in key areas, including the new Moulding Toolpath, which it states will save time and increase finish quality for those who make constant cross section moulding, arches or frames.

Adam James, senior software developer at Vectric, comments: “There has been an excellent response from customers when previewing this new option. In testing there have been savings of over 25 percent for cutting time and better quality finished parts straight off the CNC.”

Aspire 8.5 also builds on the software’s 3D modeling functionality with the new Create Texture Area option, to help model decorative textures. James Booth, commercial director, comments: “We’ve always had many ways to create and cut a 3D texture in Aspire but the new Create Texture function makes it so much easier to generate a variety of patterns, to find the one your client wants as soon as possible.”

The update is available for free to Vectric customers who already have version 8.0 of the programs.
