Professional:

Complete variety of functions and an absolute suitability for industrial use due to the usage of an external axis-controller for all real-time tasks. Realization of various technological functions for special tasks. Extendable with various adapters, entrance - and exit modules and keypad for teaching comfortably. Plug-in for 3D-digitalisation (3D-scanning)

Handy Hints

Most people end up doing mainly 2D operations on the Instruments such as engraving signs, cutting vinyl, Routing patterns from thin materials etc.

We use Corel draw to create all our 2D files. When complete, the files are saved as a PLT or HPGL file and exported to the Win PC-NC software to run on the instrument.

For 3D work any conventional CAD program can be used to create the project files.

Formats

WinPC-NC understands various NC data formats, and is able to import these files, display them and perform the movements on the machine. At present, the commonly used plotter format HPGL, MultiCAM, two drilling formats (Sieb&Maier1000, Sieb&Maier3000 and Excellon), G code (DIN/ISO) and ISEL NCP are possible. Furthermore WinPC-NC is able to recognize vector informations of postscript EPS and AI files, e. g. as created by various Adobe programs.

DeskProto offers 3D CNC machining for non-machinists.

DeskProto is a 3D CAM program (CAM = Computer Aided Manufacturing). It imports 3D geometry from any 3D CAD program, calculates CNC toolpaths and then writes NC program files for any CNC milling machine in order to machine your model, mold or even your final product. For more information read the Essentials. DeskProto is aimed at designers to quickly create models of new designs (Rapid Prototyping), at jewelers for wax models, artists for sculptures, medics for prostheses, moldmakers for cavities, etc etc.

DeskProto is fast, it's lowcost and it's very easy to work with. Download your Trial version and start cutting today !
