Kipware® Conversational vs. G Code Wizards

Since the late 90's ... we have worked hard to take our conversational CNC programming software out of the world of "wizards", after-thoughts and add-ons ... and into the world of professional, power packed CAM applications.

We would like to thank the over 1200+ users of Kipware® conversational for proving that our efforts have been successful.

Why? What makes us the professional conversational application that we are?
Here are just a few reasons :

KipwareM® - MILLING :

Here is a sample screenshot of a KipwareM® operation ... in this case a SQUARE / RECTANGULAR POCKET. Just take a look at the machining options available for the user to select :

1. SQUARE or RECTANGULAR ... long side in X or long side in Y ... the software automatically "sees" it.
2. CORNER RADIUS ... milled using circular interpolation or plunge ...  the software automatically "sees" it.
3. X / Y RAMP AMOUNT ... you decide how much ... not an arbitrary angle, a real distance.
4. FINISH ALLOWANCE ... for walls and bottom.
5. ROTATION ... pocket at a 5 degree angle ... just input 5 ... the software writes the rotated G code automatically ... and not some G code for rotation ... hard numbers.
6. ROUGHING and / or FINISHING ... CW or CCW ... climb or conventional ... you decide.
7. CUTTER COMP ... automatically inserted if you desire ... with auto ramp in / ramp out.
8. FINISH BOTTOM ... or just the walls ... you decide.

KipwareT® - TURNING :

Here is a sample screenshot of a KipwareT® operation ... in this case an OD GROOVE. Just take a look at the machining options available for the user to select :

1. DEPTH OF CUT IN Z ... plunge rough ... you determine the Z axis DOC.
2. CORNER CHAMFER / RADIUS ... just input the value ... and not just 45 degree chamfers ... any angle you want.
3. CUT-OFF CYCLE ... not just grooving ... cut-off with pecking and even complete retraction.
4. GROOVING ... tons of options for straight cutting, pecking with just a retract or complete retraction.

These are just a couple of the conversational, fill-in-the-blank menus which our users can use to create complex cutting operations.


Not to mention all the companion apps that come with Kipware® conversational :

1. Kipware® SketchPad - Conversational CAD/CAM ... easiest CAM ever !!
2. KipwareTP® - toolpath plotting app now with a full user defined tool library for graphic simulation.
3. KipwareTB® - machine shop toolbox software
4. KipwarePA® - point and shoot G code creator for milling and turning.

There are NO OTHER programming app ... "wizard" or hide behind the "conversational wizard" ... that can match the power and features of Kipware® conversational. We invite you to look around ... we are sure that like the 1200+ Kipware® users ... you'll realize that only Kipware® conversational gives you the professional features you need to be successful.
