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

MacroFusion™ is a cutting-edge platform designed for CNC macro automation, enabling the transformation of repetitive CAM-generated G-code into smart, reusable macro programs. This innovative software assesses repetitive machining actions and condenses lengthy NC programs into streamlined macro logic utilizing variables, loops, conditions, and automated workflows. Key features encompass: • Conversion from CAM to macro • Advanced pattern recognition capabilities • Automation through WHILE loops • Machining driven by variables • Builder for custom canned cycles • Preview of toolpaths and visualization of macros • A macro workbench with real-time simulation • Optimization and compression of G-code • Logic for reusable machining processes It also facilitates sophisticated workflows that involve: • Helical interpolation techniques • Trochoidal slot milling processes • Spiral pocket milling operations • Automation for bolt-circle tasks • Machining of figure-8 oil grooves • Face sweeping methodologies • Advanced wave surfacing techniques MacroFusion™ is compatible with a variety of macro-capable CNC controls, including those from Fanuc, Haas, Siemens, and Okuma, making it a versatile choice for manufacturers looking to enhance their machining efficiency and productivity. With its comprehensive toolset, this platform significantly streamlines CNC programming, contributing to improved operational performance.
