    How do I add several stl files in v-carve pro?

    Are there any alternative apps which can be used in order to add more than one stl file to a single project in v-carve?

    I guess that you can add more than 1 stl in your project. I know that in Aspire it is possible.
    Make no mistake between my personality and my attitude.
    My personality is who I am. My attitude depends on who you are.

    Yes I know it possible in Aspire but not in v-carve.

    There are other programs available that will allow you to merge .stl files together.
    Check out MeshMixer

    This is not what V-Carve is about. Blender is another great program for this.

    There is a YouTube video that explains a workaround to do this. I can’t remember the actual name of the video, but it on the Learnyourcnc videos. He has some great tips

    There are plenty of programs : Blender, FreeCad, Fusion360, Corel3D, SolidWorks, Simmens3D, Kompas3D etc.
    You prep all your models in a single .stl file and then import it in to v-carve. You have to prep them in a way you need as you wouldn’t be able to manipulate them in v- carve.

    Which of these is most user-friendly?
