About

Cut3D is a dedicated toolpath engine for CNC machining 3D models that have been designed using a 3D CAD or Graphics design product such as AutoCAD, Rhino3D, 3D Studio etc. or scanned using a laser or touch probe device. Cut3D's exceptionally easy to use interface leads you step-by-step through the process of loading a model, setting the size, interactively placing tabs to hold the job in place, calculating single, double or four sided roughing and finishing toolpaths, previewing the results and finally saving the CNC code to run on your machine. 3D Models that are too large/thick to machine because of gantry height, cutter length or limited material thickness can be 'sliced' into separate pieces. Each slice can then be machined and the complete job assembled. Cut3D includes powerful import filters that work with most of the industry-standard mesh file formats. Standard postprocessors are included for virtually all CNC machine control systems.

About

DeskProto is a 3D CAM program for 3-axis, 4-axis and 5-axis CNC milling machines. It can import 2D vector files (DXF, SVG, EPS, AI), 3D geometry files (STL, DXF) and bitmap files (any digital image), calculate CNC toolpaths for that design, simulate the result, and finally export a toolpath file for the machine that you selected - a long list of supported machines is present. DeskProto is available in our different editions: Free, Entry, Expert and Multi-Axis. The last three need a paid license, hobbyist users can buy a low-cost hobby license .

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • all the features are there, some what easy to learn, much shorter learning curve than others, Wizards make it easy to set up a project. Low cost and no subscription needed.
  • Simple to use - the wizards really take the guesswork out of things for beginners. Scaleable - you can be as much in control of the process as you wish for, so it grows well with you as you grow in confidence

Cons

  • UI is a bit dated. Really no cons once you get used to the layout
  • I am unhappy that they have only just released the V-Carve solution. I have not yet upgraded to the Version 8 that incorporates this, as I have got used to making do with FEngrave. This would have been a nice to have before trying to go the hard route. I understand that tool paths can be broken, it would be nice (but potentially impossible to predict) to know this before embarking on a visualisation that just sits doing nothing for hours. Note I am still on V7, so this may be addressed in V8
