Fusion and vcarve download access
Quote from Aran Murphy on 30th November 2025, 10:05 pmHi,
I have just began the cnc course and Im just wondering if it is possible to download and install both fusion 360 and vcarve for use in the course later. Do I have to pay for these or is there a way to download for free??

I believe Fusion offers a free version that is restricted in some ways, for example limiting exports and the amount of projects that can be saved. VCarve offers a 30 day trial license before you have to buy. I would probably recommend setting up with these initially whilst taking the course. As you work through the Fusion and VCarve modules, get a feel for which software package might work best for you and then you can look at purchasing the one you prefer.
Thanks
