Drawing modelling and machining preparation
Use Cadivari to design parts such as templates, signs, fixtures and instrument components. Work with 2D profiles or solid models, then prepare the toolpaths for machining.
3D modelling
Build solids from sketches with Push/Pull, Loft and Revolve. Add shells, chamfers and rounded edges, then edit the feature settings.
View featuresCNC toolpaths
Create contours, pockets, model roughing and surface finishing paths. Assign cutters and set cut depths, feeds and operation order.
View featuresEngraving and V-carving
Import SVG artwork for engraving. Follow drawn lines, cut V-grooves or use variable-depth V-carving for filled shapes.
View featuresFrom drawing to exported G-code
Create machining operations from 2D profiles or 3D bodies. Review the job in Cadivari, then open the exported program in your machine controller software.
Draw or import
Draw a profile, import SVG artwork or trace a reference image.
Build a model
For a 3D part, create solids from sketches on planes or faces.
Set up machining
Choose stock, work zero and cutters, then add and order operations.
Preview and export
Review toolpaths and material removal, then export G-code for your machine controller.
Create solids from sketches
Start a sketch on a construction plane or flat face. Build a solid from its profiles, then edit the sketch dimensions or feature settings as the design changes.

- Chamfer and FilletShape solid edges
Set up and preview CNC operations
Set the stock dimensions, work zero and cutting parameters for each job. Review the operation order, cutter motion and material removal before exporting.

Contours pockets and surface machining
Cut outlines and pockets, face stock, rough a model and finish curved surfaces. Set the cutter, depth passes and feeds for each operation.
Motion and material preview
Play or scrub through cutter travel, entries and tool changes. Use the material preview to inspect the simulated result.
G-code export
Export a combined program for Carbide Motion or separate files for each cutter stage in a GRBL workflow.
DS-1 · ROSETTE DESIGNER15 bands · 3 mosaic channels
Design rosettes and fretboards
Cadivari includes rosette and fretboard designers. Use them to lay out decorative bands, calculate fret positions and prepare geometry for machining.
Rosette designer
Arrange mosaic and veneer bands, set their dimensions and create channel profiles.
Fretboard designer
Set scale length, fret positions and board dimensions. Create surfaces, outlines and fret-slot toolpaths.
Your projects stay on your computer
