Aspire is built on the same platform as Vectric's VCarve Pro software, which shares its intuitive interface and ease of use for routing and manufacturing. In addition to VCarve Pro's powerful drafting and manufacturing routing tools, Aspire also has tools to turn 2D sketches, photos, drawings and digital artwork into detailed 3D relief models, and then calculate roughness and 3D finishing to accurately carve these shapes . Aspire is used by a variety of companies and individuals to create a wide range of products including decorative panels and doors, ornaments, custom woodwork, architectural moldings, dimensional markings, engraved company logos, personalized gifts and awards, and many other applications. Aspire's unique 3D component modeling combined with a comprehensive set of 2D design and editing tools makes it easy to work with existing 2D data or imported 3D models, as well as create your own 2D and 3D parts from scratch. Who uses Aspire? - Wood carvers - Sign manufacturers - Furniture manufacturers - Cabinet makers - Manufacturers of hard surfaces - Engravers - Model makers - Jewelers - Manufacturers of architectural models - Schools, colleges and universities - Sculptors and 3D artists - Producers of film and theater props - Production of vacuum molds - and much more...
