On the complicated side of the scale … we have CAD\/CAM. There is certainly no denying that CAD is a necessary tool for design … without it, we would never have built the world we have today. HOWEVER … not every workpiece to be machined\u00a0requires a drawing nor a CAD application. And here is where the software developers got it wrong … blame their lack of shop floor experiences. In order to create a G code program … the user is forced to either have a CAD drawing or create a CAD drawing. Without a drawing … no machining code. And that’s just a BAD model.<\/p>\n We designed our Kipware\u00ae conversational<\/a> to be good at two ways of programming … without a drawing and with a drawing. For the simpler, everyday type workpieces, users can fire up the conversational, fill-in-the-blank forms … and quickly and easily create powerful G code programs in minutes. For those more complex contours and shapes … they can draw or import a drawing and create G code programs from their drawings still using a simpler, real world interface.<\/p>\n On the simplistic\u00a0side of the scale … we have software designed and created by hobbyists whose only experiences are with hobby machining … which as any machinist knows is worlds away from production and shop floor programming. Overly simplistic designs … producing overly simplistic G code … with overly simplistic methods and processes that in reality, take\u00a0programming\u00a0from overly complicated to overly tedious and inefficient. Do you want to be a better hobbyist (“cnc’er”)\u00a0or a better professional ?<\/p>\n Having lived and worked cutting chips for a living … we were able to build simpler applications that pack a punch and include professional chip cutting output all done automatically based from our real world chip making experiences. We may be\u00a0using a simpler interface and design as a cover … but we provide all the\u00a0professional code output all automatically and\u00a0all done under-the-hood inside the source code. While simplistic “wizards” and simplistic “conversational controls” give you simple but hold you back as a trade off … Kipware\u00ae conversational<\/a> gives you simple and provides all the professional output you need all automatically.<\/p>\n From auto cutter compensation output … to long hand or canned cycle user configurable\u00a0options …\u00a0we built BEST PROGRAMMING PRACTICES into our software and output. While the “wizards” are still trying to learn what best programming practices even are !!<\/p>\n In addition … our cutting edge development gives the user powerful real world options like the ONLY conversational 3D machining options for milling<\/a> … and the ONLY conversational Live Tool and Y Axis programming options for turning centers. That is taking simpler and …<\/p>\n![\"complex\"](\"http:\/\/kentechinc.com\/kipware_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/complex.jpg\")
