CNC ROUTER - DOWNLOAD VCARVE

CNC Router Basic Training class

 Overview
  1. Download the VCarve Pro Trial from https://www.vectric.com/free-trial/
    1. It's important you get the Pro version.
    2. You can download it as a guest. No need to submit your email. See the image below.
  2. Install it. The default options are fine.
  3. Run the program and just skip the machine setup steps if it asks.
  4. Join the #shopbot channel in Slack. There's a pinned message that contains the username and password. Login with this account or else any files you save can't be opened at The Forge.
  5. Make sure to keep the program updated when it tells you there's an update. If you never update it, it will eventually expire. If this happens, just reinstall it using the same steps.
