info@directmachining.comThe basis of any laser machining recipe is fabrication trajectories. In DMC trajectories can be generated by importing CAD files (DXF, DWG, STL, Gerber, NC Drill, etc.) or by drawing them with built-in tools.
DMC laser machining software controls the hardware of the machine directly. So there is no need for G-Code generation, proofing, and uploading.
Having direct access to machine hardware provides a lot of benefits by integrating cameras and sensors for smarter processes.
DMC’s Adaptive Mark on Fly (A-MOTF) allows efficient processing of large parts that can tolerate stitching or have features that are small enough to fit into the scanner field. Using DMC’s A-MOTF, it is often possible to achieve up to 30% faster processing times compared to other technologies.
DMC also supports:
DMC enables the simultaneous use of several scanners for processing a single area. The user has to import a CAD object and define process parameters, then DMC automatically handles trajectory separation between several scanners and controls the hardware to produce the part.
DMC software seamlessly integrates machine vision for laser machining processes. Use it to see machining results, position your fabrication trajectories on the sample precisely or calibrate your system.
DMC software has calibration tools for easy initial system calibration or recalibration when some components get changed.
Complex laser machining recipes can be created and automated with DMC software for a very wide range of applications.
The software can communicate via IO, databases, serial, OPC UA, and other industry standards to other machines and production management systems to allow for Industry 4.0 compatible machines.
DMC can be used to control 5-axis stages plus a galvo scanner for any 3D shape processing. After the system is configured in DMC, the user only has to import a CAD object, set process parameters and click Run. DMC handles trajectory calculation and process control.
For Machine Vision, 3D printing, PCB processing or even 5-axis machine control
PCB Module is an addition for DMC LITE for PCB processing. It adds Gerber and NC Drill / Excellon file support for PCB laser etching, drilling and cutting control. All the processes can be combined and controlled in DMC with minimal operator intrusion. Automatically included with DMC PRO.
3D Module is an addition for DMC LITE for 3D file (STL, STP, IGES) import and preparation for laser 3D printing and/or deep laser engraving. It includes model fixing and support generation tools for 3D printing. Automatically included with DMC PRO.
MV PRO integrates machine vision functionality for DMC. It supports industrial cameras (IDS, AVT, Basler, Mightex, PointGrey and similar) and adds focus finding, view stitching functionalities as well as manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic sample alignment. It also unlocks calibration tools that are using a camera for data collection.
MV LITE integrates camera view into DMC. It supports industrial cameras (IDS, AVT, Basler, Mightex, PointGrey and similar) and adds focus finding functionality as well as manual sample alignment.
Multihead or Multiple Scanner Simultaneous Control module enables simultaneous use of several scanners for processing a single area. It automatically handles trajectory separation and controls the hardware to produce the part. It also comes with special joining strategies for error minimization. An additional option is a smoke or soot avoidance sorting algorithm that does not allow smoke produced by one head to cover the other head's processing area.
DMC can be used to control 5-axis stages plus a scanner for any 3D shape processing. There are separate 5-Axis Modules depending on the application. After the system is configured in DMC, the user only has to import a CAD object, set process parameters, and click Run. DMC handles trajectory calculation and process control. Reach out to us for more details.
Laser Lathe module adds commands and capability to conveniently define laser turning process with multiple steps, from rough material removal to smoothing. Import the CAD, set process parameters, and click RUN to machine the part.
