It's Awsome. Does 3D work and is easy to use. Offers the functionality of VCPro while adding powerful 3D tools. As soon as I have the cash, I'm getting my copy.

I wonder if it's pretty much VCarve Pro and Cut-3D pulled into one or if it offers something significantly more? Maybe full blown 3D 4th axis rotary capability rather than 2 & 4 sided, that would be really nice.

Tony demoed it at John Forney,s camp Shopbot. It goes beyond V carve pro and Cut-3d. With the split screen It is nice to see what the results are as you do them.

I got my copy at the Jamboree. It was the first time the software was available. It comes on a DVD with 6 hours of training videos and full manual. Has the same functions as VCarve pro, but with full 3D functions to create and edit 3d objects and make tools paths. It updates the 3D image in real time as you work in the 2D work area. It does not have 4th axis functions, but Scott should use how to do 4th axis work with it. I thought it was great software, and I normally don’t buy first generation software.

We will be posting full details on Aspire on our website very shortly. Unfortunately we didnt get the web site complete in time for the Jamboree, but we will be posting full details shortly and emailing all our existing customers.

Sorry for the delay on the website, but the Jamboree was an immovable deadline for the launch so we had to go with it even though the website was not ready.

I'm out in Austin for the Maker Faire following the jamboree, so might not be able to post updates untill I get back to the UK on Tuesday.

Brian
