Also, tiling is supported so I can extend work pieces if necessary. I can live with the 24 x 24 inch size restriction considering the Pro version is twice the price. So I coughed up the CAD $471 to purchase Vcarve Desktop. The results were perfect and the user interface and functionality are exactly what i need to use the Longmill effectively. I got a test version of Vcarve Desktop and went through a number of tutorials and ran a couple of their demo projects on my Longmill. When I want to design a heavy water pump for a nuclear reactor I will revisit Fusion 360.īased on the premise that time is money, I rethought the idea of buying something instead of wasting effort on either of these two solutions. On the high end is Fusion 360 - very rich functionality but far too complicated to use for simple 2D and 2.5D carving. On the low end was Carbide Create - poor user interface and limited free functionality. Please remember that these are my opinions only. In the meantime, I spent considerable time trying both ends of the legitimate free CAD/CAM offerings I also sent a message in E-bay to one of the vendors asking about the source of the products and of course got no response. My real intent was to see if anyone had tried it. I agree that it’s a scam and probably pirated.
