"I've been a Vectric customer for 20 years now. When I first came across their software it was the answer to my prayers as I had been really struggling to get to grips with CNC in general and I didn't fancy forking out the sums that other software cost in case it wasn't for me in the end. I found it easy and intuitive to learn and the customer support was first class. I've never regretted my decision and have upgraded many times over the years to the latest versions and new releases such as Aspire. I appreciate the fact that I can pay for the software once and then it's up to me if I want to upgrade rather than having to pay an annual license fee as many other companies in the field insist on."
