The program specializes in turning between centers, utilizing Legacy’s exclusive 5-axis turning capabilities. The company’s Doors Plus offers easy and accurate scaling, sizing and modifying, with the ability to go directly to CNC manufacturing with the touch of a button.įor shops that turn spindles, posts and other column work, Legacy ( ) in has eight instructional videos online for its CCAM4 (Conversational CAM) software. And KCD includes hundreds of MDF cabinet door stiles that most libraries only offer in solid wood.
Version 10 is also integrated with Cabinotch, which simplifies outsourcing. CNC Manager, which is included in KCD’s Commander package, lets a shop run multiple jobs and even individual parts from other jobs together. That makes design, price and build more mobile.
A simple click in the latest version (10) will optimize the program for use on a touch screen computer PC tablet. The company’s visual interface, One-Button CNC machining, allows a user to go directly from design to CNC, and quickly set tools, measurements and sizes. KCD Software, on the other hand, is specifically tailored to woodworking. The new release (version 2018.1) is primarily an industrial CAM solution with a focus on metal and plastics, rather than wood, but some woodshops are using it successfully. HyperMill from Open Mind Technologies AG ( ) is a CAM program for 2.5-, 3- and 5-axis milling and turning.
The Basic package now includes 3D Simulation and Dynamic Nesting and the Plus version now has Rapid Texture and ATP Lite for nesting and output at the same time. The Entry Level version of EnRoute now includes explode, layer editing and dynamic nesting. And Component Creator is a tool that creates interlocking components that can be used to create shelves. For shops that create lots of toolpaths, it is now faster to pan, switch views, or redraw the drawing. And there’s improved redrawing of contours and toolpaths, which speeds up the drawing and redrawing of contours, toolpaths and meshes. EnRoute’s simulation of cutting has also been upgraded, so that users can better visualize how the piece will cut. Enroute 6 ( ) includes on demand training movies and a new simulation engine that lets a woodworker use wood textures and other types of materials to provide a more realistic view of the finished piece.
