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 .

About
NestSigns is browser-based nesting software for sign and fabrication shops preparing vector artwork for CNC routers, laser cutters, and related sheet-based workflows. It imports vector files including AI, PDF, DXF, SVG, and CDR, then arranges letters and components on sheets to reduce unused material. Users can place smaller pieces inside larger shapes, set spacing and margins, manage leftover material, and review layouts before exporting cut-ready files such as DXF, AI, PDF, SVG, or LightBurn projects. Designed for sign makers producing channel letters, dimensional lettering, and other cut parts, NestSigns runs in a web browser and uses inches by default. It focuses on material layout and file preparation; machine setup, operation, and cutting remain part of the fabrication workflow.
