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

NREC’s MAX-PAC™ suite of CAM software delivers superior cutter-path solutions tailored for turbomachinery parts, providing users with various cutting strategies that can effectively lower both engineering and production expenses. This software is customizable with different modules to fit specific part geometries, accommodating operations like flank milling of ruled-surface blades, point milling for arbitrary-surface blades, integrally shrouded impellers, and individual blades. Recognized for its excellence, MAX-PAC is touted as the premier CAM software for 5-axis milling of turbomachinery components, including impellers, blisks, and rotors, and boasts a solid reputation among manufacturers, job shops, and 5-axis machine-tool providers globally. The expertise embedded in these advanced tools stems from methodologies secured by three distinct patents. Unlike other CAM software, MAX-PAC exclusively focuses on turbomachinery, which results in a quicker learning curve, enhanced usability, and reduced programming and machining times, making it an invaluable resource for industry professionals. Its specialized capabilities not only streamline the machining process but also ensure precision and efficiency for complex turbomachinery designs.
