Videos page added!

For a while now we have been adding and updating videos to accompany the Getting Started Guide, our Shop Notes posts, FAQ and to give you help re-creating and inspiring your CNC Project Hacks.  They have been sprinkled all over the place and unless you were subscribed to our official YouTube channel you would have no possible way of tracking them down when you need them.

We have just added a new fresh page to the DesignAndMake.com site where we will keep all of the latest and updated videos.   

Videos - Getting you started fast!


Our video page will be organized so that can find what you need fast for those times when your CNC is hard at work and you're looking for "that" video you remember we mentioned months ago!

Be safe and let the chips fly!

VCarve Pro users this post is for you!

We are very excited about Vectric’s recent new release of VCarve Pro version 8. Previously only Aspire users could work with our projects but one of the major new features for VCarve is the ability to import multiple 3D models in their V3M file-format. As all our projects are available as V3M’s and so anyone upgrading to VCarve Pro version 8 will be able to work with any of our designs in the software! You can read more about the new release, watch videos (including one on how to assemble clip-art) and download a free trial version to check out the new features from this page on the Vectric website: What’s New in VCarve Pro V8. For our Aspire using customers you also have some excellent new tools available in the upgrade too: What’s New in Aspire V8.

Along with this new release Vectric have also added the VCarve Desktop edition, this is perfect for anyone with a smaller light-duty machine looking to add some serious design and machining capability at an affordable price, best of all this can also import and assemble any of our projects too! You can read about the full VCarve range of software here:  http://www.vectric.com/products/vcarve.html
