Description

3dSynth is a creative toolpath synthesizer designed for experimental and artistic 3D printing workflows. Instead of converting meshes into G-code, it generates toolpaths directly using parametric definitions you control. This approach removes the need for mesh repair, slicer tweaking, or intermediate STL files. Users begin by defining a base profile using a spline editor, shaping the object’s silhouette along its height. From there, stackable modulators are applied to mathematically transform the geometry, such as adding waves, bumps, twists, or fractal patterns. Each effect can be limited to specific height ranges, enabling intricate surface detail and variation. The interface provides instant visual feedback with a live 3D preview of the exact print path. Built-in printer profiles ensure exported G-code includes proper start and end sequences. 3dSynth is especially suited for spiral vase printing and other continuous extrusion designs. The result is a fast, expressive workflow focused on form exploration rather than traditional modeling.

Vectric VCarve provides a robust and intuitive solution for 2.5D CNC carving, allowing users to create intricate designs including v-carving, chamfering, fluting, prism, and moulding toolpaths. It supports importing and machining 3D models, giving users creative flexibility for a variety of projects. The Desktop version is ideal for small CNC machines with a 24”x24” work area, whereas the Pro version supports unlimited job sizes and adds professional features such as true shape nesting, merged toolpaths, job setup sheets, and gadget automation. The software offers extensive drawing and layout tools, bitmap editing, image tracing, and advanced text manipulation to ensure precision and detail. Realistic 3D previews help users visualize their projects before machining, reducing costly errors and enhancing client presentations. VCarve’s tool database simplifies cutter management and integrates with V&Co for sharing tool data across multiple machines. Additional features include rotary axis support, production plate engraving, and customizable toolpath templates. Comprehensive online tutorials, an active user forum, and free CNC projects support users of all skill levels.
