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

SprutCAM X is CAD/CAM software featuring a streamlined workflow and comprehensive functionality. Compatible with any CNC machine: 3/4 and 5 axis Mill, Lathe, Mill-turn, Swiss, MTM, EDM. Toolpath calculation is performed taking into account full machine kinematics and limitations including collision avoidance and axis limits control. A single environment for the offline programming (OLP) of industrial robots. An efficient robot machining solution for the rapid creation of complex collision-free 3D movements in native 6 or more axes code (5 to 6 axis transformations are not required). The SprutCAM team has been working on CAM software development since 1987. During this long period we have gained extensive experience and expertise in computer-aided manufacturing. Our team consists of experts and practitioners in the technologies required to power the tools to make CNC programming easier, faster, and more effective for our customers.

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

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Ultra user-friendly, only takes an hour to understand the basics and then explore the capabilities. Kudos for interactive interface. Simulation - best of the best, smooth and extremely detailed Toolpath calculation - impressive, very flexible and smart.

Cons

  • Documentation is not covering 100%, but it's no big deal.
