Its easy-to-use interface supports a full suite of drawing tools, image import, vector editing, and image tracing, allowing users to create detailed and complex designs. The Desktop edition is ideal for smaller CNC machines with a maximum bed size of 24”x24”, perfect for hobbyists or small production, while the Pro edition expands capabilities with unlimited job sizes, true shape nesting, toolpath merging, and job setup sheets suited for commercial environments. Cut2D supports a variety of toolpaths including profiling, pocketing, drilling, and auto-inlays, plus unique features like thread milling and diamond drag engraving. The software’s realistic 3D toolpath previews let users visualize cuts before machining, reducing errors and material waste. A comprehensive tool database manages cutter information, feeds, and speeds, and is synced via V&Co for easy sharing across multiple machines. Vectric also offers an active community forum, online tutorials, and gadgets to automate tasks, improving efficiency and learning. Regular updates enhance functionality, helping users tackle projects ranging from simple signs to intricate cabinetry.
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.
