Easiest CAM Ever? ... You Decide.

The Kipware® SketchPad with the new patent-pending Machinist Mode might just be the easiest CAM program ever.

The Machinist Mode allows the user .. the machinist ... the freedom to take control of the cutter and to create any toolpath desired. The SketchPad frees you from the rigid CAD/CAM world and all the restrictions and inefficiencies that come along with it.

Take a look at our demo video illustrating a pocketing with island example ... then you decide.

The Kipware® SketchPad with the new Machinist Mode is available STANDARD in all Kipware® conversational titles ... or as a stand alone package which includes features for programming milling, turning, wire EDM, waterjet and plasma CNC machines.

Innovative CAM Features Released for Kipware® SketchPad

We have always been driven ... for over 27+ years ... by our real world experiences in real world machine shops ... operating real world machinery ... cutting real chips ... to develop and design machine shop software that addresses the real world issues we faced every day during those years.

Those solutions do not necessarily have to create the prettiest pictures ... have the most menus ... cost the most money ... simply, they just have to work efficiently and effectively. We take pride that shops ... around the world ... every day ... profit from our products and our solutions.

And today we are introducing another one !!

Our Kipware® conversational CNC programming software is setting the standard and raising the bar for conversational, easy-to-use, CNC programming software. Applications that tackle the everyday CNC programming performed in 95% of shops around the world every day ... without mixing in the complexity of expensive CAD/CAM software. For workpieces that don't fall into the everyday, standard category ... the Kipware® SketchPad has always been available as a simplified CAD/CAM module to handle those situations.

Now .... following in the inspirational words of Chef Emerald Legasse :  BAM !!!!!
We have taken the easy-to-use and innovative Kipware® SketchPad ... and kicked it up a notch !!

How? What? Why?

We have added a new, patent-pending feature called the Kipware® SketchPad Machinist Mode ... a fast and easy approach for creating user defined roughing programs for turning, milling, wire EDM, waterjet and plasma cutting. Combined with the already proven-in-the-trenches finishing features of the SketchPad, the Machinist Mode roughing module provides a new level of CAM programming suitable for everyone ... from novice or expert.

Basically ... the Kipware® SketchPad Machinist Mode allows the user to move a graphical representation of a user define cutting tool ... in rapid or feed mode ... around a graphical representation of the workpiece ( SketchPad drawing or DXF import ) ... and the SketchPad auto-converts those recorded movements and mode into a G code program.

It would probably be a long read if we try to put it into words ... 

so we invite you to visit the Kipware® SketchPad webpage ... http://www.kentechinc.com/KipwareSketchPad.shtml ... 

and read the details and watch the video presentations. 

The Kipware® SketchPad Machinist Mode now adds the capability in Kipware® conversational to quickly and easily create G code programs for :

• Roughing and finishing of pockets with islands ... of any shape or size !!
• Roughing and finishing of complex milling contours !!
• Roughing and finishing of any type of turning contours without the use of canned cycles !! ( now Kipware® conversational is even more compatible for hobby CNC with MACH controllers )

Now the complete Kipware® Conversational Packages ... KipwareM ( milling ) ... KipwareT ( turning ) or KipwareW ( wire EDM, waterjet, plasma) include :

• Conversational module for standard shapes
• Kipware® SketchPad with the new Machinist Mode for non-standard shapes
• KipwareTP® - G Code Editor and Toolpath Plotting software.
• KipwareTB® - Machinist Toolbox Software
• KipwareDNC® - Serial Communication software
• KipwarePA® - Point and Click Programming Assistant

The Kipware® SketchPad with the new Machinist Mode is available as stand alone application as well.

Once you see the power and features of the new Kipware® SketchPad Machinist Mode ... you will know why we say :

Kipware® Conversational ... Don't Call Me a Wizard !!

R U Using the Wrong Tool for the Job?

Do any of these feel familiar when you are doing your CNC programming?

Most production shops run to the "CAD/CAM guy" when they are in need of CNC programming. And if the programming is complex ... mold and die programming, 5 axis programming ... that is the best path to take.

But the reality is ... for the 95% of CNC programming done in real world shops everyday .. that's not the best path to take. For this type of programming ... CAD/CAM is Overkill ... and can slow down productivity and rob the shop floor of efficiency. Given the right tool ... most chipmakers can create the 95% of everyday CNC programs without the need for a complex CAD/CAM system. It's a no brainer that allowing more people to create the simpler, everyday programs will lead to faster programming and improved productivity. Leave the "CAD/CAM guy" for the tough "stuff" ... and let others do the simpler "stuff".

What is the right tool? 

Since the early 1990's, Kipware® conversational CNC programming software has been helping chipmakers create fast, efficient CNC programs for the 95% of programming done in the real world everyday. With our latest innovations, enhancements and features ... we are adding more and more power to Kipware®. While using our unique blend of chipmaking, CNC and programming skills to keep the complexity level low and the productivity level high. Kipware® allows novice or expert to quickly and easily create efficient G code programs.

Want to remove this from your shop wall?

We invite you to take a look at the new, improved and enhanced Kipware® Conversational CNC Programming Software for Milling ( KipwareM® ) --- Turning ( KipwareT® ) --- Wire EDM / Waterjet / Plasma ( KipwareW® ). See what using the right tool can mean for your shop floor and your productivity.
