Total Vector Control
From Vector Clipping, to effortless Offsets and Fillets – have total control over your vectors with powerful editing features.
Identify Problem Vectors
The Vector Doctor helps you identify any potential problems with your vector artwork before you try to machine it.
Automatically Generate Vectors
Automatically create machinable vectors from imported non-vector images with the Bitmap to Vector tool.

Relief From Greyscale
Carveco maker lets you create 3D relief models from imported Greyscale artwork.
Smooth Out Rough Relief Artwork
Run smoothing passes over low-quality relief artwork to remove imperfections.
Invert Relief Artwork
Easily invert relief models to produce Male and Female parts or simple molds.
Carveco Maker comes with over 600
3D relief models included!
Free to use in your CNC projects as many times as you like.
Total Visibility On Toolpaths
Get detailed reports on all your generated toolpath settings and view accurate machining times.
Work With Multiple Toolpaths
Combine multiple toolpaths and strategies to make quick work of machining your projects.
Choose your machining strategy
Create Profiles (Cut-outs), Area Clearance, Fluted, V-Bit, Bevel, Drilling, Inlay, Lazer and 3D Machine Relief toolpaths.
Profiling
Quickly cut-out your design using profile cuts. Add bridges (breakout tabs), control the depth of your cut with ramped lead moves and profile allowances.
Area Clearance
Create recessed areas or pockets using Area Clearance, allowing you to remove large amounts of material quickly using multiple tools, including automatic 2D Rest Machining and ramping moves.
V-Bit Carving
Fast, efficient toolpaths for V-carved designs are easy to create within Carveco® Maker. Preview your design within the simulation before machining, limit the tool depth and add a roughing tool to avoid tool wear on your expensive V-bits.
Bevel Carving
Also known as ‘Prismatic Lettering’, Maker’s Bevel Carving feature allows you create proud-standing letters or features on your design.
Relief Machining
Machine 3D artwork with Spiral or Raster 3D machining strategies with the option to use a selected vector as a boundary.
Inlay
Create perfectly inlaid parts with easily adjustable allowances (without needing to offset the vectors) and auto-calculated corner radius.
Fluting
Fluting allows you to precisely control ramping moves for gradually deeper material cuts. Perfect for creating channels or cool material effects.
Drilling
Carveco® Maker includes inbuilt support for drilling toolpaths with options for Peck drilling denser materials to avoid clogging up your bits.
