Aspire has tools which helps you transform 2D sketches, photos, drawing and digital artwork into detailed, 3D relief models, then calculate toolpaths to accurately cut those shapes. Aspire is built with a an intuitive user interface for ease of use for production design and routing. Aspire can create a wide variety of decorative panels and doors, ornamental flourishes, custom mill work, architectural moldings, dimensional signage, carved company logos, custom gifts, awards, plus many more applications.

Aspire’s unique 3D component modeling coupled with the comprehensive set of 2D design and editing tools make it easy to work with existing 2D data or imported 3D models as well as giving you the ability to create your own 2D and 3D parts from scratch.
