Mid Year Development and Upgrade Report - Kipware® Conversational

At this almost mid-point of 2013 ... we thought it time to update everyone on all the new features now being shipped standard in our Kipware® conversational software ... as well as all our conversational companion applications.

So here we go .... or watch the UPGRADE VIDEO HERE.

KipwareM® - Conversational CNC Programming Software for Milling

  • We recently added (3) new menus : 
  • Qualify Stock ... conversationally create G code to machine the ends of a workpiece
  • O Ring Groove ... conversationally create G code to machine a user defined O Ring Groove
  • Custom EIA Cycle ... create blocks of user defined G code ... great for 4th axis work.
  • Round & Helical Pocketing Enhancements ... users can now easily create pocketing and helical cutting G code for multiple locations ... describe the cutting once ... then either input user defined X/Y locations or use the BC, Grid, Holes-On-An-Angle menus and have KipwareM® auto-calculate the locations. 



KipwareT® - Conversational CNC Programming Software for Turning

  • Custom EIA Cycle ... create blocks of user defined G code ... great for 4th axis work.

Kipware® SketchPad - Conversational CAD/CAM

  • By far the BIGGEST and MOST TALKED ABOUT upgrade ... We recently added our patent-pending Machinist Mode ... just move the tool with the mouse to create your roughing G code for milling, turning, wire EDM, waterjet and plasma.
  • For an in-depth explanation please refer to this recent "... In The Trenches" post : http://kentechinc.blogspot.com/2013/04/easiest-cam-ever-you-decide.html

KipwareTP® - G Code Editor and Toolpath Plotting Software

  • Users now have the ability to create graphical tool representations that can be included in the G code plot.
  • Users can also create Plotting Tool Lists that link the graphic tools with "trigger" codes. For example : T0101 might call a 55 deg diamond graphic ... T0202 might call a .125 OD grooving tool ... etc.. When the G code is being plotted ... trigger codes will cause the tool graphic to change as indicated in the Plotting Tool List.
  • Added an On-Screen Measurement feature ... use the mouse to "measure" points along the plotted toolpath.
