Description

Predator Virtual CNC software simulates and verifies the operation of your CNC machines from your computer. Simulating the machining process offline can help you save time, money, scrapped parts, tool breaks, and machine crashes. It also improves safety and productivity. Predator Virtual CNC™, supports all standard vertical, horizontal, and complex machine configurations with 2-5 axis. Our flexible reverse post processors allow for user-definable machine tool configurations. This allows standard VMCs as well as HMCs to work with us. All standard milling, turning, and drilling cycles are supported. Advanced cycles, such as subs, macros and variables, logic codes, and trig codes, are all supported. Predator Virtual CNC is optimized to 3-axis surface milling and can handle large files without running out. Processing speeds of up to 3,000 blocks per minute are possible, while maintaining the required accuracy. Predator Virtual CNC 5 Axis also offers 3+2 support.

Description

Vectric VCarve provides a robust and intuitive solution for 2.5D CNC carving, allowing users to create intricate designs including v-carving, chamfering, fluting, prism, and moulding toolpaths. It supports importing and machining 3D models, giving users creative flexibility for a variety of projects. The Desktop version is ideal for small CNC machines with a 24”x24” work area, whereas the Pro version supports unlimited job sizes and adds professional features such as true shape nesting, merged toolpaths, job setup sheets, and gadget automation. The software offers extensive drawing and layout tools, bitmap editing, image tracing, and advanced text manipulation to ensure precision and detail. Realistic 3D previews help users visualize their projects before machining, reducing costly errors and enhancing client presentations. VCarve’s tool database simplifies cutter management and integrates with V&Co for sharing tool data across multiple machines. Additional features include rotary axis support, production plate engraving, and customizable toolpath templates. Comprehensive online tutorials, an active user forum, and free CNC projects support users of all skill levels.
