I am new to CNC and this chestnut still has me stuck. Having researched constantly, I still cannot make up my mind. As I see it, VCarve can work offline which is occasionally helpful but not essential and at it's more affordable price it would have me going very quickly. Carveco, (perpetual licence), on the other hand seems more future proof for costings as VCarve tries to get you to download their models which is expensive and has add-ons such as Photo carving and laser work making me think I may be better off to just get the Carveco and costings are all complete at the beginning. I can easily manage the software of either and even considered Fusion 360 which I use constantly for 3d printing but I know I will eventually want to do relief work and feel Fusion 360 may be limited in that area. I realise this question will always raise it's head but an up to date guidance and reflection on my perspectives would be appreciated.
