Description

DeskProto is a 3DCAM program that can be used to create 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis CNC milling machines. It can import 2D vector (DXF), SVG, AI, EPS, EPS, AMS, AI), 3D geometric (STL, DXF), bitmap (any digital image), and calculate CNC toolpaths for the design. Finally, it can export a toolpath file to the machine you have selected - there is a long list of supported machines. DeskProto is available as a free, entry, expert, and multi-axis edition. Hobbyists can purchase a low-cost hobby licence for the last three.

Description

Multi-DNC software connects all of your CNC machines and robots, facilitating communication for tasks such as uploading, downloading, and drip feeding. It efficiently oversees your CNC programs, offsets, and parameters, and even has the capability to automatically record probe data. The software comes equipped with features like secure editing, back plotting, and file comparison. It enables two-way communication for CNC operations, allowing for both wired and wireless network options to handle file transfers seamlessly. This innovative solution eliminates the need for CNC operators to constantly move between their computers and machines, as they can directly pull files from the CNC control's CRT display. You can tailor user access, whether for a single individual or multiple users, by limiting changes to machine setups and restricting access to specific machines or cells. In addition, should a tool break or if there's a need to re-cut segments of a program, operators have the ability to restart a program from any point in the file, offering several methods for restarting that enhance flexibility in operations. This sophisticated system ultimately streamlines CNC management and boosts productivity on the shop floor.
