The toolpath options cover all typical 2D routing operations such as Profiling, Pocketing, Auto-Inlays, Drilling and Thread Milling as well as 2.5D strategies such as V-Carving, Prism carving, Moulding Toolpaths, PhotoVCarve Toolpath Strategy, Chamfer.
Using this option also allows you to avoid creating a "Finish" toolpath in those flat areas further increasing time-savings when machining. Key Strengths of VCarve Pro VCarve Pro can import 2D designs from other programs but also provides a full set of drawing and editing tools. For the "Rough" tool you can choose to have it pre-finish any flat (horizontal) regions on the cross section, which are common on a lot of Moulding shapes. The combination of power and simplicity lets you efficiently create and manage your design, then quickly generate precise toolpaths to drive your CNC. VCarve Pro is a complete solution for 2D & 2.5D CNC routing. For the "Finish" tool you can opt to "Vary Stepover", this can be used to improve finish on shapes that have a lot of steep angles or curves on the cross-section. Vectric are renowned for their powerful, user friendly CNC CAD/CAM software - designed to make cutting parts on a CNC an easy, enjoyable and productive experience. The Moulding Toolpath has some clever options to further improve finish and efficiency.
The Moulding Toolpath function allows you to specify two tools, one to in effect "Rough" out the majority of material with a larger tool and then the other to do the "Finishing". Watch the VCarve Pro tutorial videos by Vectric for an introduction to this. The shape is specified by selecting two vectors the first will represent the Drive Curve of the shape and the second defines the Cross Section that will in effect be extruded along the Drive Curve to create the swept shape when machined.

This function generates an efficient and smooth toolpath to cut 3D shapes such as mouldings, arches and frames that have a constant cross-section.
