DeskProto Expert Edition: all options for 3-axis machining.
PLEASE NOTE: if you are a hobby user then your best software purchase option is the full Multi axis version of Deskproto available on ouir site. It has all the features of the full comercial 5 axis version but you must not use the software in a comercial environment.
you can acess the Deskproto you Tube channel for a world of information on this amazing software at the link below
but please rememebr to come back to makeccnc.com when its time to purchase and we will add five standard pattern projetcs of your choice to the deal .You wont find this exclusive offer anywhere else online.
A full registration code for your product will be emailed to you usually within 48 hours of purchase. Meanwhile, you can use the program in Demo mode while you wait for your license file.
You must provide a copy of your ID or Drivers License for security purposes. Then we will submit your order for your permanent license file. :)

The Expert Edition offers a wealth of options for CNC machining.
In the Expert edition all DeskProto options are available except for the rotation axes. The result is a CAM program that allows you to produce even the most complicated models.
A few of the features that the Expert Edition offers you:
Two different user-interfaces: the wizards to get you started, and the dialogs to exploit all options
Extremely fast calculations, also for complex geometries
Large STL files are possible: 500 MB is no problem, for the 64 bits version even up to several GB
3D machining, simple 2D machining and bitmap machining all in one program
The ability to freely add cutters, machines and postprocessors
A very intuitive user-interface.
DeskProto Expert applications
The DeskProto Expert Edition is meant for professional users who's profession is not CNC machining. Like designers and modelmakers needing a prototype, artists for a sculpture, medics for a brace, etc.
DeskProto can be combined with any 3D CAD program, and with any CNC milling machine.
Using DeskProto you can create a model in many ways:
Functionality in DeskProto Expert
The following settings are available in the DeskProto Expert Edition:
-
Roughing and Finishing operations, the roughing options: skin thickness and layer height
-
Limit the area to be machined using a (freeform) segment
-
Dynamic feedrate control: automatically reduce for high chip-loads. Also called "Bit Saver feature"
-
Many machining strategies available (see below)
-
Inverse milling: machine a cavity that fits the geometry in the STL file
-
Add support blocks, needed when machining from several sides or with a rotation axis
-
Meander/climb/conventional, Ambient skipping, Collet collision check, ...
-
Simple 2D machining, and you can also project the 2D contour on the 3D geometry
-
Bitmap machining (grey-value to Z-Height), also project the bitmap relief on the 3D geometry
-
Choose a user-interface: wizard or dialog-based,
-
or create a project with the wizard and then fine-tune using the dialogs.
-
Freely add machine-definitions
Configure your own postprocessor (if needed).
