Recommended CAM Software


Check out the CAM software profiles list we have supported.
We are continuously adding new CAM software profiles based on our customers' needs.
Here are some ones that we think are suitable for the Carvera machine and are easy to learn and use for different types of milling jobs.
Fusion 360
Fusion 360

Fusion 360 is a cloud-based CAD/3D modeling, CAM, CAE, and PCB software platform for both product design and manufacturing.
Compare to other industrial software, Fusion 360 is relatively easy to learn and is an all-in-one solution. If you are new to CAD and CAM, and you are interested in making mechanical/electronic/robot/drone parts or something like them, fusion 360 is a good option.
It's free for students or startups with full functions, the personal version is free too but has some limitations.

VCarve Desktop
VCarve Desktop

VCarve Desktop gives you the power to produce complex 2D patterns with profile, pocket, drill and inlay toolpaths, plus gives you the ability to create 3D and rotary relief by importing 3d model files. It can also do laser engraving with an add-on module.
VCarve Desktop is suitable for woodworking, jewelry making, art making, etc.

Kiri:Moto
Kiri:Moto

Kiri:Moto is free, open-source, browser-based application that bridges 3D design to fabrication with tools for CAM, 3D Printing, and Laser output. There is no software to install, and all data and processing happen privately and local to the browser window. Import STL, OBJ, and 3MF files and output GCode or SVG. 3 and 4 axis CAM operations include: roughing, pocketing, contouring, tracing, and more. Preview and animate your jobs ahead of time to see what you will get before the milling begins.
