Desktop Prototyping Featured at Euromold

By DE Editors

Using the DeskProto software and a desktop CNC milling machine, Delft Spline Systems (Utrecht, The Netherlands) will demonstrate Desktop Prototyping at the 2006 Euromold show in Frankfurt, Germany, from November 29 through December 2.

The DeskProto software for Subtractive Rapid Prototyping allows a 3D designer to create prototypes in house using a desktop milling machine. The DeskProto CAM software is aimed at designers, not at CAM specialists. DeskProto includes features like automatic feedrate reduction at high chiploads, collet collision check, full rotation axis support, and a two-sided milling wizard.

In addition, Delft Spline Systems will show hardware for Rapid Prototyping. Two desktop milling machines from competing manufacturers will be present: an Isel CPM from Germany and a Roland MDX-40 from Japan.
