CAD/CAM SOFTWARE
This very easy to use software allows the user to control his or her bridge saw, profiler, grinder, engraver, mill or router in three different ways:
The Good Way
Using the arrow keys on your keyboard, left and right arrow keys represent the x and y axis, the up and down arrow keys represent the z axis. By simply pressing one of these keys, you move the head of the machine wherever you like and control it from there.
The Better Way
Type your coordinates into the appropriate spot on the screen. The software moves the machine to the selected start coordinates, then moves it along a path to your end coordinates. You may also input your speed, depth for your tool and how you wish to arrive at the end point.
The Best Way
Draw the shape you wish to cut. G-Code or Machine Language is automatically written which is transferred to your machine. In this way, you can also specify your cutting depth. The added advantage here is that you can input the size (diameter) of the tool you wish you use and the program automatically takes into account how the cutting path needs to be offset so that the tool is cutting either on the inside, outside or center of the cut line to ensure you get exactly the cut you need.
