3D Capable software is required. Vectric V-Carve Pro has limited capability for 4th Axis machining. Vectric Aspire has many more advanced features for 3D carving and is recommended for 4th Axis kits. There are however, many CAD/CAM software packages on the market - ensure you select one with capabilities to suit your 4th Axis to get the most from this equipment.
