Wrapped Rotary MachiningĮnables the use of a rotary axis (also called a 4th axis or indexer). The software has the ability to import full 3D models from third party software for unwrapping in a rotary job, where you can position and orient the model in a rotary view.Not only can you import full 3D models for unwrapping the software also allows for the importing of “Flat 3D” models (relief style models) that you can position and simulate before cutting. Such a vector is an equivalent to the strip of fabric when it is unwrapped from the roll.Īlthough such a toolpath will exceed the 2D workspace of the rotary job, thanks to the wrapping process during both simulation and machining the toolpath will actually stay within material boundaries. In order to create a toolpath that wraps around multiple times, one can create a long vector at a certain angle. Aspire’s ability create or edit 2D and 3D data coupled with the comprehensive set of toolpath strategies gives you the ability to choose the most efficient ways to make 2D parts, 3D carvings or jobs which combine both with your CNC.The 3D model preview allows 3D components to be displayed in different material types or colors to produce realistic results for customers quotations, web site content or including in your marketing material etc.Aspire lets you dynamically edit 3D components using the mouse as well as giving you the ability to enter specific values to manipulate the part.

This takes the guess-work out of creating high quality models. Changes to shape, height or inclination are instantly updated in the 3D view showing exactly what the final result will look like.

Building 3D shapes from 2D vectors with the interactive 3D shape modeling tools make it easy to experiment with different settings and results.Flexible design tools allow components to be edited – moved, scaled, resized, rotated, tilted, faded and distorted at any time without having to recreate the component. Aspire has a unique interactive approach to assembling 3D component models that makes it easy to change the shape and characteristics of individual parts of the job and build up complex designs using simple sets of 3D shapes.The videos are accompanied by the associated files that allow users to watch and work through the training materials at their own pace. Aspire ships with over 90 hours of tutorials based on real-world examples that cover all aspects of using the program.

The emphasis on ease of use not only includes the interface and work-flow of the software but has also been carried through into the training materials.

Aspire’s single interface for 3D component design and machining makes it easy and logical to draw and build 3D component models, plus calculate combinations of 2D and 3D toolpaths to machine high quality projects.
