The centre of the innovative interface is the large graphic area in which the workpiece is displayed three-dimensionally. Milling, drilling or saw cuts are programmed quickly and easily by entering the machining parameters and realistically displayed in the graphic. This guarantees the highest level of programming reliability and constant control during program creation.
