I don’t think it is necessary to think of Vectric Aspire (USD $1,995). VCarve Pro (USD $699) is known for a certain approach that many people like and that would justify paying for it. But…

But you could do that with another tool (and use VCarve or another CAM software like FreeCAD Workbench just for importing the 3D model and export it as a g-code toolpath). The [free and open](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_software) 3D editing software [Blender](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blender_(software)) ([Blender homepage](https://www.blender.org)) is excellent and very developed nowadays with many tools.
