Functionality in the DeskProto Entry Edition
The DeskProto Entry Edition is in fact the same program as the other two editions, however without the advanced parameters meant for the more experienced users. So the number of available options has been reduced for the Entry edition, all other functionality is identical for the Entry and Expert editions. In order to compare the three editions you can use the comparison table.
The following settings are available in DeskProto Entry:
Scale, Mirror and Rotate the geometry
Set a bottom level (the minimum Z-value to be machined).
Define and select cutters
Distance between the parallel toolpaths, and stepsize along the toolpath
Speeds: feedrate and spindle speed
Roughing options: skin thickness and layer height
Simple 2D machining
Bitmap machining (grey-value to Z-Height conversion)
And, in addition to calculating toolpahts, the following options:
Simulate the 3D toolpath
Estimate the machining time
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).
