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

NX CAM is a Siemens manufacturing software solution that helps companies automate CNC programming, accelerate machining, and improve production quality. It provides a single integrated CAD/CAM environment for moving from digital part models to precision machined components. The platform supports prismatic machining, mold and die work, electrode manufacturing, complex part machining, postprocessing, simulation, and on-machine probing. NX CAM uses feature-based machining and modern interactive techniques to generate operations faster and standardize programming processes. Its advanced machining strategies support high-performance roughing, high-feed finishing, multi-axis machining, and efficient material removal. Integrated G-code-driven simulation helps users validate machine tool motion, detect errors, reduce setups, and maximize machine uptime before production begins. The software also offers a cloud-based postprocessing solution with more than 1,000 postprocessors and machine digital twins. NX X Manufacturing brings CAD/CAM capabilities into a SaaS environment with cloud flexibility, security, and scalability. By combining CAD, CAM, simulation, probing, tool management, and manufacturing collaboration, NX CAM helps production teams improve throughput, accuracy, and shop floor efficiency.
