New Construction ... Wuts Up !!

As we reach the end of the first quarter ... we would like to take a look back and a look ahead at what's been going on and what's coming up here at Kentech Inc..

We pride ourselves on delivering the best and most "real world" software products to the metalworking industry ... as our past post illustrates ... we work very hard toward that goal. Take a look here at last years pile of work as an example : http://kentechinc.blogspot.com/2012/12/wow-what-year-heres-what-we.html

So far in 2013 ... after only 2.5 months ... here's a checklist of our development work :

• We delivered a total re-write using .NET4 for our extremely popular Kipware® CNC XChange - Fanuc <--> Okuma Conversion software ... got it all ready for the future and added a ton of new and innovative features.
• We delivered a new conversational CNC programming application for Wire EDM, Waterjet and Plasma programming ... KipwareW®. We combined our older KipwareEDM® and KipwareJT® into a new product with lots of new features and enhancements ... with an interface that mimicks our other Kipware® conversational titles so integration is easy.
• We developed two new websites that key in on our business software ... www.MachineShopSoftware.com ... and our conversational software ... www.Kipware.com. These sites will help users not only find our products quicker and easier ... but will allow them access to sites dedicated to the type of products in which they have the most interest.
• Now that we revamped KipwareM® last year ... adding new and innovative features is quick and easy for our development team. In February we released (5) great new features including RAMPING, CUSTOM EIA CYCLES, MULTI-LOCATIONS for round pocketing and helical milling ... along with an increase in the number of cycles that can be associated with a single operation from (5) to (10).

And that's only in 2.5 months !!

What are we working on now !!
Here's a peek into the development construction site and what will soon be released :

• We are finalizing a complete re-write for our KipwareXC® - G Code Conversion software. We've added a brand new state-of-the-art interface using .NET4 along with TONS ... and I mean TONS ... of new and innovative features and conversion options. Release is expected mid-April ... stay tuned.
• Y AXIS MILLING for KipwareT®. We have started importing features we already have available for milling in KipwareM® and adapting them to a new Y AXIS MILLING option for KipwareT®. This will add another level of conversational programming for turning centers that will include KipwareT® for turning ... the Live Tool option for C axis drilling and milling ... and now the Y Axis option for Y axis milling. Release is also expected in April ... stay tuned.
• We have picked up our search for additional VAR's ( Value Added Resellers ) to enable easier access to our products ... a win-win for everyone involved. If you are interested in reselling Kipware® software ... please visit our Dealer page here : http://www.kentechinc.com/dealer.shtml

And that's just what is slated for one month ... April !!!

We continue to be inspired and driven by the famous words of chef @Emeril Lagasse ... "BAM ... Let's kick it up a notch !!"

Does your software provider deliver innovations and enhancements at a pace like this?
What has your software maintenance agreement got you in 2.5 months?

And don't be fooled by simple, underdeveloped "wizards". Kipware® conversational has fought to bring conversational programming out of the world of "wizards", after-thoughts and add-ons and into the world of professional programming applications since 1986. Kipware® has the real features for real world machining.

DUMP the Wizards ... 
GO PRO with Kipware® Conversational !!
