VCarve Pro ShopBot Edition v7.0

With this upgrade, PartWorks is officially changing its name to VCarvePro ShopBot Edition. It's always been the same program but the versions done for ShopBot generate only .sbp files. The difference in names and version numbers has created a bit of confusion in the past especially when someone wanted to demo the program. The upgrade is free to those who have purchased since January 2012 and $150 for those with earlier versions. If you think you are eligible for the free upgrade and have not received an email about this, contact Dianne at ShopBot. Note that PartWorks 3D is not changing names nor has it been updated.

ShopBot HandibotTM Smart Power Tool

ShopBot will be launching a new tool, the Handibot smart power tool, at the Hardware Innovations Workshop and Maker Faire in San Mateo, CA (May 14-29). The Handibot tool is a new kind of Smart Digital Power Tool. It's a small powerhouse. Single-purpose, task-oriented mobile apps will put a Handibot power tool to work on a jobsite or for a DIY project at the squeeze of a button. Handibot tools use computer-control of high-precision robotic motion components to put accurate cutting, drilling, and machining into an individual's hands. Whether used on the construction or job-site, in the classroom, or in the home or garage shop, these tools will provide amazing machining capabilities for cutting, trimming, and detailing shapes nearly impossible with traditional portable power tools.
