Using the included VCarve Desktop Design Software, you can create your project and transfer it to a USB drive which can then be plugged directly into the LCD pendant.
2. For more challenging projects and extended versatility, you can run the Shark HD500 from your computer taking advantage of the exclusive patented Virtual Zero Unlimited programming that will adjust your design to fit curves and angles that would be virtually impossible on other brands of machines. (Computer and flash drive not included).
