DESKPROTO - EXPERT VERSION
The Expert version of DeskProto offers many options for CNC machining, including:
- Two different user interfaces
- Very fast calculations, also for complex geometries
- Support for large STL files: 500 MB, and for the 64-bit version up to several GB
- 3D machining, simple 2D machining and bitmap machining in one program
- The ability to freely add knives, machines and postprocessors
- Very intuitive user interface.
We invite you to familiarize yourself with the comparison of the three DeskProto versions: Home, Expert and Multi-axis.
