CAD/CAM Software

DeskProto is a 3D CAM program (CAM = Computer Aided Manufacturing). It can import STL files from any 3D CAD program, calculate CNC toolpaths and then write NC program files for any brand of CNC milling machine, 3-axis, 4-axis or 5-axis. DeskProto is used by designers for prototypes, jewelers for wax models, artists for sculptures, medics for prostheses, moldmakers, woodworkers, teachers, students, hobbyists, and many more.

Easy to use vector drawing and editing tools with powerful 2D machining strategies for CNC routing, milling or engraving. Cut2D Pro and Cut2D Desktop provide a powerful but intuitive software solution for cutting parts on a CNC Router. Both editions include tools for 2D design and editing and efficient 2D toolpath calculation. The software can import 2D designs from other programs but also provides a full set of drawing and editing tools. The toolpath options cover all typical 2D routing operations such as Profiling, Pocketing, Auto-Inlays and Drilling. Each toolpath includes appropriate options to customize the settings and provide a high level of control for different types of operation. In addition all toolpaths can be previewed to show just how the part will look when it is actually cut, this allows instant feedback so toolpaths can be further optimized.

Front Panel Designer is a design and ordering program available free from Schaeffer AG. Using our software you can design and create your own customized front panel within a very short time - without any previous experience!

FlatCAM lets you take your designs to a CNC router. You can open Gerber, Excellon or G-code, edit it or create from scatch, and output G-Code. Isolation routing is one of many tasks that FlatCAM is perfect for. It's is open source, written in Python and runs smoothly on most platforms.

MeterBasic is a hobbyist-level meterscale drawing program with no usage or time limitations and requiring no key to operate. However, it has only some of the numerous useful capabilities of Meter. These programs - Meter and MeterBasic - are designed to have a computer do the hard work in making a precision scale for a d'Arsonval analog meter. The resulting scales can appear as nice (or nicer!) as those found on commercial meters.
