Dear CarveWright Customers and Forum Members,
We have been receiving increasing questions about the future plans for the CarveWright line of products and would like to take a minute to pass on several exciting recent developments. First off, I would like to thank all of our initial customers for your input. We have leaned heavily on that input and your experience to mature and polish the product. While there is still much functionality that can be added to this highly versatile machine, we firmly believe that this product will have a significant impact on the woodworking and crafts markets. Your help has brought, and continues to bring us closer to this goal.
As many of you have recently seen and heard, we will be marketing the machine and accessories through Sears under the CompuCarve brand by the end of this year. Getting the machine into large retailers has always been our goal and this is one of the first steps. This is a great opportunity for us to increase the user community which allows us to dedicate more resources to further software and accessory development.
We will continue to direct market the CarveWright through our website. The price structure will be somewhat different because we wil sell the machine with a base software package and the full software package separately (as opposed to all together like we do currently). The machine hardware sold in Sears will be the same hardware that we sell directly (with small cosmetic differences). We realize that good service and software support are critical to our customers and to the success of this product. As such, we will be keeping the service and support functions under our roof to best service all of our customers.
On another front, the wait for the scanning probe is finally coming to an end. It is currently in route to our warehouse. Once we receive them we will be sending out a note letting you know. We can ship them the very same day of the order. The probe and scan manipulation software will be priced at $299.99. We know that you are going to really enjoy this functionality and we thank you for your patience on this.
Thank you again for your outstanding input and support in launching this
exciting machine.
Regards,
Chris Lovchik, CEO
