Control Software

Whether high-perfomance full version software or intuitively operatable program with industrial character - with us you can select the control software that suits you and your projects best. All of them run under Windows® or a Windows® Emulation for Apple®. For information on CAD software, please see "CAD CAM Software - Quick Overview".


UCCNC-Software Stepcraft

UCCNC

UCCNC is a software designed to make the interaction with your machine as easy as possible. Thus, the G-Code processing program has not only been optimized specifically for the STEPCRAFT CNC machines, its interface also allows an intuitive operation of the software. The data exchange is ensured via a conventional USB interface of the computer or via a network interface. The easy operation, the graphic presentation with simulation and the arbitrary parametrization are only a few of the software's features.

WINPC-NC machine control software Stepcraft

WinPC-NC

With the latest version of the machine control software WinPC-NC the engineering office Lewetz released a comprehensive update. WinPC-NC not only contains an entire new graphical interface and a powerful 3D view but also a rearranged and simplified parameter structure as well as an intuitive help function. Further highlights of the new version are the graphic live tracking of the machine's position, the possibility of showing non-productive motions, the optional hiding of machine-specific basic settings as well as the reduction of the filament feed in the corners during a 3D print. Additionally, WinPC-NC can process isel-NCP files.
