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

Hole & 2-Axis Tactics can significantly reduce programming times by up to 70% by automatically generating toolpaths that are ready for manufacturing. With over 40 types of machining operations at your disposal, you can efficiently tackle any manufacturing project with confidence. Whether you're working with Nurbs or STL geometries, creating the desired toolpaths—including undercut options—is a straightforward process. The 5-axis milling system offers a comprehensive approach for both indexing and 4 to 5-axis machining, while also being compatible with STL files. A wide range of advanced functions such as Swarf, Drive Curve, Drive Surface, Flow Cut, Side Cut, and Point Control are included to enhance machining versatility in various situations. Additionally, a suite of verification and simulation tools ensures that the machining process is feasible, reliable, and safe. For instance, Solid Verify allows users to simulate the actual machining to assess material excess, ensuring that the machining is not only effective but also efficient, leading to superior production outcomes. Moreover, this combination of tools and functionalities helps optimize the entire manufacturing workflow, making it easier to achieve high-quality results consistently.
