Recently we became OEM re-sellers for vectric software. The software that would work best for Maslow is their Cut2D software. It is normally $450. You can download a trial and see if you like it. As resllers we get a 40% discount so the price for maslow users would be $270 plus $5 to cover our credit card fees.
Even with the discount it is pretty expensive. If there are at least 5 people interested I will buy it. Please comment below if you want to buy it and if you have tried the trail version yet.
I already paid full price but am still very happy with the program. I tried several others but they were either too simple or came with capabilities I would never use. Cut2D has a lot of design capabilities but in an easy to use format. Many of the design actions have pictographs grouped in a tool box. Hover over an icon and a brief explanation appears. Same applies on the toolpath selection screen. When you’re done it creates a gcode. An outstanding feature is the tutorials that are accessed from the design/drawing screen. Available are “getting started” lessons with one for the basic setup, one for drawing, and another for toopaths. More detailed tutorial follow on. They all go through a sample projects while using more complex actions as they go on. Cut2D will get you up the learning curve but still have sophisticated controls that will exceed the needs and abilities of the Maslow.
I could be convinced. The local MakerSpace uses VCarve. I wouldn’t have to re-do tool paths if I needed to cut something there.
well I have to get at least 5 people to get the discount so we will see if anyone else is interested.

I’ll just keep this thread open and when it gets to 5 people, I’ll pull the trigger.

I’m down for that price
please private message me your email, that way when 5 people are interested I can directly email you. It has take 4 months to get 3 people, so maybe by the end of this year we will have enough people?
I am in. PM sent. I believe the count is now 4!
please pm email if you are still interested in the software either way let me know.
Always best to never post your email in a public place, that way lies harvesting and a whole lotta spam

Is there any chance they are working on a Mac version? The software looks to be everything I’m looking for but we don’t have any Windows machines anymore.

sorry no, you can always run boot camp on a mac to boot into windows. you can get free trial version of windows 10 directly from microsoft. if you are a die hard mac user, then you’ll have to look for something else.
I’m still in on this. Sorry for the delayed response.
well honestly probablay wont’ happen. they require 10 or 20 licenses for an order, and there seems to be lack of interest. I’ve had a couple of the vcarve 2x2’ software license for sale for over a year at no profit that have not sold either. got accused of selling pirated software and kicked out of a cnc group for no good reason, lol, for trying to help.
