At OmniCNC, we use separate types of software to run our various CNC machines.
Our technology comprises CAD software, CAM software, and CAD-CAM-Integrated software. They are as follows–
– CAD Software like CorelCAD, Solidworks, SketchUp, Solid Edge, etc.
– CAM Software like Fusion360, GibbsCAM, Solid Edge CAM Pro, etc.
– CAD/CAM Integrated software like Cimatron, Framecad, Siemens NX, etc.
Other tools that are used are –
– For text-based engravings, a word processing software like Microsoft Word can be used.
– For graphics and layouts, CorelDRAW and Illustrator from Adobe are generally used as they have strong visual references in the form of grids, which assist the laser in engraving, marking, and cutting.
– For operations requiring high dimensional accuracy, AutoCAD, CATIA are used in processes like laser drilling, laser scribing, etc.
– Other software like Photoshop by Adobe is used to enhance the photographs in laser engravings.
