JDPaint is a Windows program for designing CAD images that can be sent to a compatible CNC machine. It is possible to optimize material utilization by efficiently arranging multiple design elements within a single sheet, minimizing waste and reducing execution time.
Design tools
The software lets users draw lines, circles and complex geometric shapes. There is an option to organize individual elements on separate layers for better control and editing as well.
Instruments for adding text blocks with flexible font parameters to the page are included. This functionality is ideal for creating professional engravings or engineering markings. Moreover, it is possible to define custom relationships between design elements, allowing for dynamic content updates across the project.
Toolpath generation
Resulting drawings are automatically converted to instructions that guide the cutting movements of the CNC router called toolpaths. Like in SmartCarve, you can choose the most appropriate transformation strategy based on source material and desired outcome.
Tools for visualizing the entire machining process are provided. This helps users identify potential issues and further refine their designs.
