"I use VCarve Pro and it serves my needs quite well. The learning curve is gradual and intuitive. The help menu is comprehensive and the forum support is about the best of any I have ever encountered. It is well monitored and supported by avid users with tons of experience coming from backgrounds in engineering, teaching, fabricating etc. There are a number of training videos both on the Vectric site and of course YouTube. And being able to start with affordability in mind to get your feet wet and apply the cost of that initial investment toward upgrades going forward allows you to build up to the level of product capability that you need in the end."
