Everything from idea to finished carve.
Designer allows for 2D and 3D carving right out of the box. Just arrange your design on the screen how you want it to carve and then upload. It automatically compiles the project without any programming decisions so you can take it to the machine and carve.
1. Start With Your Board
Enter the size of the material you’re carving and Designer shows it on screen as a real 3D board. What you see is what comes off the machine.
2. Arrange Your Design
Drag patterns, text and vectors onto the board and move them around until it looks right. Overlapping 3D carvings merge into a single surface on their own.
3. Send It To Carve
Prepare machine-ready output and turn your digital design into a finished project.

Tools For Creating Anything
Designer starts with a virtual 3D project board where you can build your project by placing and arranging the elements you want to carve.
Add text, patterns, images, vectors, and 3D components. Overlapping 3D elements merge automatically as you build, making complex projects easier to create without manually managing complicated operations.
3D Carving
Place relief patterns and watch them auto-merge into intricate compositions. Add textures and domes with a click.
Drawing Tools
Draw precise vector lines and shapes, then turn them into carvings or cut paths.
2D Cutting
Turn any line into a cutout, or assign a router bit to profile, pocket or drill it.
Text Tool
Add text with a click of a button using any TrueType or OpenType fonts.
Image and Vector Import
Bring in JPG, PNG, SVG and more, and work them straight into the design.
3D Importing Tool
Import any STL file from outside sources to your software’s pattern library.
Included libraries
Includes 75 3D patterns, hundreds of SVG files, and 2 free projects.
Custom Bit Settings
The software comes with preset bit settings, but gives you the freedom to add new bits and customize settings to suit your machine.
Automated Tiling
Carve larger than your machine with auto-tiling which splits an oversized project into carve-able strips with seam guides.
CarveBot AI Assistant
Ask how to do something and get an answer grounded in the manual, with the exact ribbon button highlighted on screen.
AI Pattern Making
Describe what you want, or start from a photo, and get a ready-to-carve pattern. Flat artwork can be raised into a full 3D relief in one click.
CarveDepot Store
Browse thousands of patterns and projects within Designer and try on your board before you buy. Plus, publish your patterns to the store directly from the software.
Add the features you need, when you need it.
Each add-on module brings exciting features into your Designer software. Rather than selling a high priced software package with features you’ll never use, you can build your software into what you need when you need it.
