Description: CAD-CAM Software for CNC Mill RoutCad® Luxe including training and G-Code tutorial videos RoutCad® PVC Cover Plate for Wall and Cealing Holes --> Description RoutCad de Luxe for CNC milling full release version is a Computer Aided Design software and a Computer Aided Manufacturing software all bundle in a single easy to use package. You can use it to create : contours, shapes, and 3D objects. The software has pre-defined material selection for plastic, metal, or wood. Once the object is designed; you easily define the tool path and export the g-code to be used by a CNC controller like Mach 3, Mach 4, EMC 2 Linux, ELU 860, MAXNC, Fanuc, Haas, Mazak, Torch Mate, Flash Cut CNC, Desk CNC, USB CNC, etc. RoutCad de Luxe for CNC milling full release is a state of the art Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing software that allows you to create the design of your choice using the material you want. There is an abundance of options and commands that enables you to create, modify, and combine objects to quickly achieve the desired result. The software comes with a library of pre-designed shapes and a comprehensive easy to follow user manual in .pdf format. A series of training (Quick Start) videos have been included to help quickly and effectively learn the software. This software is well suited for professional application. It is easy to learn for the beginner and powerful for the more advanced user. The import .dxf allows to use already made drawing for milling real objects. The merge feature allows to combined multiple projects in such a way that each individual project can be machined at the beginning of the cnc milling cycle or at the end. The plunge rate can be independently controlled as well as all the other important g-code parameters. It is also possible to import a picture and draw over it; then mill it into a real object. For trial run, the spindle speed can be set to 0.0 rpm; this will generate g-code without activating the spindle. The accuracy of the software allows to precisely mill part that requires a high tolerance. The x and y axis origin location can be made in the middle or at any of the 4 corners of the screen. The software support left handed and right handed axis system convention. The pocket wizard can be used to quickly create a pocket from a closed contour. The pocket wizard has options for a full, partial, inner, or outer pocket. The pocket wizard has a selection for a donut style pocket or a closed contour pocket. The closed contour option allows to make a pocket of any shapes using a closed contour drawn on the canvas.
