Since 1986 … almost 30 years … Kentech Inc. has been creating powerful and professional conversational CNC programming software … marketed under our Kipware\u00ae trademark. That’s a LOT<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0of experience … a LOT<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0of customer feedback … a LOT<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0of improved toolpath features based on the feedback.<\/p>\n

Nowadays … if you take a trip around the web and you’ll find a lot of CNC programming options out there. From CAD\/CAM to\u00a0conversational controls to simplistic “G code wizards” that create what we call “kindergarten toolpaths”. \u00a0No canned cycles … no cutter comp … limited math calculations … and on and on. Many can be classified basically as Kipware\u00ae wannabees … developed to be “like” Kipware\u00ae … the undisputed conversational CNC software market leader. But the truth is in the saying … “Often imitated but never duplicated.”<\/p>\n

Doubtful? We present the facts in this post … “The Top 6 Reasons Why Kipware\u00ae Conversational … vs the wannabees.” There are \u00a0a lot more than 6 but let’s keep it short and focus on the best. These come straight from our clients … based on their trials and experience between Kipware\u00ae conversational and other “wizard” type applications.<\/p>\n

Number One<\/span><\/h2>\n

The ability to create cycles using a fill-in-the-blank form is not unique to Kipware\u00ae … but the ability to re-load previously create cycles back into the conversational menu IS<\/strong>. Only Kipware\u00ae can recall previously created cycles … whether created minutes or months ago … back into the fill-in-the-blank form allowing users to re-create the cycle with new parameters ( say different depth of cut ) or create a totally new cycle without having to re-enter data based on a previously created cycle. Time saver and quick and easy editing<\/em>.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Number\u00a0Two<\/span><\/h2>\n

The ability to go beyond standard shapes when required to create non-standard toolpaths. The Kipware\u00ae Sketchpad … included standard with all Kipware\u00ae conversational titles … gives users the ability to draw directly\u00a0or import a DXF file … and then to easily create a toolpath from the “sketch” by simply selecting the START and END points along the contour and inputs in a simple fill-in-the-blank form. Only the Kipware\u00ae SketchPad also contains the patented and ground breaking Machinist Mode that literally\u00a0makes your mouse a cutter and allows the user to create ANY toolpath desired by simply\u00a0moving the mouse.\u00a0Creating roughing toolpaths for non-standard shapes cannot be any easier !!<\/p>\n

Number\u00a0Three<\/span><\/h2>\n

Say good-bye to simplistic hobby machining toolpaths … “kindergarten toolpaths” … with tons of professional machining options included in all Kipware\u00ae conversational screens like :<\/p>\n
