Conversational CNC Programming Software for TURNING
stop the cad/cam overkill !!
NOT every workpiece requires a complex and expensive CAD/CAM system … nor a CAD/CAM programmer.
CAD/CAM was originally created for complex aircraft programming and is a DESIGN tool first and foremost. It was NEVER designed to be a PRIMARY G code generating tool.
If you are not designing … DUMP the CAD … KEEP the CAM with Kipware® conversational for CNC programming.
Why Shop Floor programming?
95% of machine shops around the world spend every day in the creation of G code for simpler “everyday” workpieces … not airfoils and dies.
The Kipware® conversational CAM approach allows novice programmers as well as experts to quickly and easily create these everyday G code CNC programs faster than any CAD/CAM program … without the need for a CAD drawing nor CAD/CAM experience.
Kipware® is DIFFERENT
Kipware® software uses simple fill-in-the-blank forms to create powerful G code / CNC programs that include “best programming practice” outputs like canned cycles, cutter compensation and more.
The forms speak a machinist’s language … with terms and input fields that make sense reflecting our design by real chipmakers and machinists using real world shop floor experiences.
- Easy to install … receive a download and get programming within (1) hour on normal business days and within (12) hours on off days.
- Lifetime purchase … with no maintenance fees … and (2) seats standard !!
- NO Drawing Experience Required … pick a menu, fill-in-the-blanks to describe the shape, generate automatic speeds and feeds with the wizard, click create program … BANG … G code.
- Professional G Code … any user can create professional G code employing “best programming practices” including canned cycles … cutter compensation … ramping … chamfering … all done automatically by Kipware® conversational.
- Create Programs with Multiple Operations … unlike simplistic wizards, Kipware® creates real world programs with multiple operations and multiple tools to machine workpieces completely.
- Complex Shape Programming … Kipware® goes beyond just conversational with the included SketchPad that can import a DXF file and generate a toolpath quickly and easily.
- Supplement and Compliment any CAD/CAM system by adding Kipware® conversational for quicker, easier everyday type programming. Kipware® = everyday programming … CAD/CAM = complex programming.
- Conversational Live Tool & Y Axis Programming… because we are innovators and pioneers. Kipware® brings conversational multi-axis programming to the market with our groundbreaking Live Tool and Y Axis programming options for KipwareT®.
- The ULTIMATE in Portability … Many machine tool builders have embraced conversational shop floor CNC programming … the problem … CNC controls are NOT PC’s and have limited power … and the conversational CNC programming is locked to the machine. Kipware® conversational CAM uses the full power of the PC and is the ultimate in portability. One purchase gives ALL your shop equipment conversational programming capabilities.
- Tons of Real World Companion Programs Included Standard … Kipware® conversational CNC software also comes standard with real world programming tools like our backplotter to view your toolpaths, toolbox software that puts everyday formulas at your fingertips and speed and feed wizard that auto-calculates cutting parameters and auto-inputs that data where required.
- LITE Version is available … all the power with just a little less fluff.
Kipware® conversational cuts through the clutter and complexity that CAD/CAM has forced on the market to help users create everday G code programs quickly and easily.
