Aspire is Vectric's top-of-the-line and most feature packed CNC software solution to date. Aspire is an easy to learn and elegant solution to the complex job of designing and machining 2D, 2.5D and 3D parts with a CNC machine.


Aspire is built on the same platform as Vectric's VCarve Pro software, sharing the intuitive user interface and its ease of use for production design and routing, but with many additional features. In addition to the powerful drawing and routing tools of VCarve Pro, Aspire also has tools to let you transform 2D sketches, photos, drawings, and digital artwork into detailed 3D relief models and then to calculate 3D roughing and finishing tool paths to accurately cut these shapes.

Aspire's unique 3D component modeling coupled with the comprehensive set of 2D design and editing tools make it easy to work with existing 2D data or imported 3D models, as well as giving you the ability to create your own 2D and 3D parts from scratch. Dimensional shapes can be created, edited and joined to build your final design. In addition you can import and modify existing 3D data and clip-art, this can be combined with 2D data and a large selection of tool path options to enable your CNC to carve and cut a huge variety of parts.

Vectric Aspire's feature include:

  • Includes a large collection of 2D and 3D clip art files (over 1300) including Panels, Weaves, Textures and 150+ 3D models from Design & Make, alone worth over $5000
