Using Carbide Create?

Hey John,

@Aiph5u

• FreeCAD for MacOS
• Blender for MacOS
• Inkscape for MacOS

Many people here use either Fusion 360 (now simply “Fusion”), which has a subscription model for the paid version and people constantly complain about features disappearing from one version to the next in the trialware version (Trialware ≠ Freeware ≠ Free Software). Many people here use VCarve Pro ($699 / £540 / €660) but this is exclusively for the Windoze operating system.

@Aiph5u

if you think of byuing Vectric Aspire in order to be able to use 3D model creation and editing tools, instead of Vectric VCarve Pro, which means you have a big price difference for this additional capability (USD $1,995 vs. $699), you should know that you can also use many other softwares to create your 3D models, e.g. the free and open Blender as mentioned here:
