Kentech Inc. Releases KipwareTP® - G Code Editor and Plotter

We are happy to announce the release of our new and enhanced version of KipwareTP® - G Code Editor and Toolpath Plotting application.

For 90 to 95% of CNC programming done everyday in the real world, programmers and operators are looking for a simple tool that will produce a simple plot to confirm their G code program. Instead most other software companies have developed in depth complicated tool animation applications that take an 8 hour day just to set up for a plot. KipwareTP® is a simple toolpath plotting software package that will enable users to quickly, accurately and efficiently view the toolpath of their CNC programs.

Kentech Inc. originally developed KipwareTP® as a companion application to our Kipware® Conversational Programming Applications. We have recently completely re-designed it to include many new useful features creating a stand alone product which remains simple and easy to use. KipwareTP® can be used with any "Fanuc compatible" G code programs including Haas and Okuma and of course all models of Fanuc controls.

KipwareTP® was designed and created like all our machine shop software - from the shop floor up. Using our unique mix of metalcutting, CNC, machine shop and computer programming experience we developed a fast, efficient and accurate utility for shops to test and edit their CNC programs before they hit the shop floor - saving time and money.
