Download free CAD models</a>. You can find more information about how to machine a Venus model in the <a href=https://www.sainsmart.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/"https://www.deskproto.com/download/manuals.php">Tutorial book</a> and in the <a href=https://www.sainsmart.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/"https://www.deskproto.com/support-videos/videos-venus.php">rotary instruction videos</a>.</p> <p>This DeskProto edition is often sold to hobby users, as they need lowcost CAM software, and to schools, as these need CAM software that is easy to use. For schools and hobbyists DeskProto is available under a special license (limited use for commercial applications).</p> <p> </p> <h2>The DeskProto Multi-Axis edition offers 4-axis and 5-axis CNC</h2> <p>The Multi-Axis edition includes all functions that are available in the Expert Edition.<br>In addition you can create toolpath for 4-axis machines and for (some types of) 5-axis machines.<br>So all Strategies shown on the Expert page are available, both for three-axis jobs and for indexed machining. The illustrations below shows the extra Strategies for continuous rotation. When 'Parallel, around A' is selected DeskProto can create one long helix toolpath.</p> <p><img alt="parallel paths" src=https://www.sainsmart.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/"https://www.deskproto.com/images/strategy_rotaxis_parallel_x-web.gif" style="width: 200px;"><img alt="parallel rotary paths" src=https://www.sainsmart.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/"https://www.deskproto.com/images/strategy_rotaxis_parallel_a-web.gif" style="width: 200px;"><img alt="block toolpaths" src=https://www.sainsmart.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/"https://www.deskproto.com/images/strategy_rotaxis_block-web.gif" style="width: 200px;"></p> <p>Indexed machining can be done both on a 4-axis machine (A-axis) and on a five-axis machine (A-axis and B-axis).<br>Extra wizards are available, for continuous rotation ('Rotary machining') and for indexed machining ('Two or more sided, automatic rotation'). In addition some Custom wizards for jewelry applications are present (123WaxRing, JWX-30 wax ring).<br><br></p> <h2>Application examples for the DeskProto Multi-Axis edition</h2> <p>The DeskProto Multi-Axis edition is meant for users needing more than three axes. Like model makers making complex models, jewelers needing a wax model, artists for a sculpture that needs to be machined from all sides, etc.<br><br>DeskProto can be combined with any 3D CAD program, and with any CNC milling machine.<br>Some examples of the extra options offered by this edition:<br><br><br></p> <div> <div><img alt="venus sculpture, 4-axis" src=https://www.sainsmart.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/"https://www.deskproto.com/photos/venus-thumb.jpg" style="width: 100px;"></div> <div>Rotation axis machining: the model rotates during machining (Continuous rotation). The rotation axis (this device is also called fourth axis, or A-axis) looks like a barbecue spit.</div> <div> </div> </div> <div> <div><a href=https://www.sainsmart.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/"https://www.deskproto.com/gallery/enneper.php">
