Simulating and creating CNC programs

Simulating CNC programs:

  • You can use the "Preview" button to simulate the CNC program...
  • After clicking the button you may be asked for the desired cutting depth before the simulation preview appears:



  • At the top of the dialog box cutting length and estimated machining time is displayed...
  • You can use the arrow buttons to rotate the view...
  • You can also rotate the view by dragging the mouse with pressed left button, zoom with the mouse wheel and pan with pressed right button...
  • (Tip: the simulation sometimes appears to be upside down - however this is just an optical illusion...)
  • You can start the simulation by pressing the "play" button. To change speed use the buttons to the left and right...
  • Clicking "OK" closes the simulation...

Creating CNC Programs:

  • To create your CNC program select menu "File" -> "Save CNC program"...
  • You may be asked about the desired cutting depth and finally the simulation will appear again...

Starting machining directly:

  • If you use Estlcams integrated controller you can also directly load the cnc program into the controller by selecting menu "File" - "Machine project now"...
  • If you use a different controller this menu item will be disabled...
