ProfileLab V9

A Revolutionary Leap in Flatbed Machining

ProfileLab is software specifically designed for CNC machining. This application contains extensive 2D/3D toolpathing capabilities and functionality without the extensive learning curve.
ProfileLab will output to a wide range of flatbed machinery including routers, engravers, and CNC machines in HPGL, G-code or special formats. Powerful toolpathing capabilities make milling, drilling and cutting out parts easy. Efficient sorting maximizes the efficiency of your CNC device.

With a few simple steps you can engrave custom logos, and more sophisticated graphics or beveled letters.

Powerful Graphics Creation Tools

ProfileLab represents a revolutionary leap ahead in flatbed machining software. It provides previously unheard of ease of use and power, to get designs from your imagination to your machine tool with breathtaking efficiency.
More than just a machine tool control application, ProfileLab also includes powerful graphics creation, input, and editing tools. ProfileLab can easily import drawings and graphics from popular CAD / DTP type programs including AutoCAD™, CorelDRAW™, and Adobe Illustrator™. With ProfileLab, machine True Type or Adobe Type 1 fonts.

Take advantage of single line engraving fonts in the Professional Text Compose module. Scan in black and white artwork, vectorize, clean up, and apply machining paths using AccuScan. ProfileLab’s Advanced Nesting module efficiently nests parts, minimizing the amount of material required.

Tools You Can Use

Sequence Control

Sequence Control, setting the best sequence for cutting shapes.

One of the most important keys to trouble free cutting is setting the best sequence for cutting shapes, and it has never been easier. Manually sequence shape by shape or by vector. Automated sequencing routines include sorting by depth, tool or location. After sequencing, start points can be edited to optimize the way parts are held during the cutting process.

Template System

Template System, fine tune your settings for tool selection, feed rates and direction of cut.

This powerful feature allows you to fine tune your settings for tool selection, feed rates, and direction of cut, and then save them for use whenever, and by whomever, the job is done again. You will find that you will be more likely to develop better techniques working with a system that saves them for you, and you will get infrequently done jobs right the first time, every time.

Toolpath Generation

Toolpath Generation, control every aspect of the cutting process.

Specialized toolpath generation drives the machine exactly the way it has to be driven to get the best results for your job. Control every aspect of the cutting process including setting online, male, female and hog / milling toolpaths, lead-ins, lead-outs, bridges, and block nest. Nine different fill types ensure high quality output. Toolpath generation helps you get the most out of your machine.

Powerful Graphics & Editing Features

ProfileLab includes powerful graphics creation, input, and editing tools. Import DXF, EPS, AI, and many other file formats directly into ProfileLab. Use powerful creation and editing tools to modify shapes..

Preview & Simulation

Output Simulator

Before sending instructions to the computer, the cutting of the job can be completely simulated on screen, and any last minute changes can be made manually to the cutting file. This way, before you start cutting expensive material, you can be sure you will get what you expect.

3D Simulator

Preview your job prior to generating your output file using our 3D Simulator. See your job in either wireframe or fully animated. Other options allow for previewing tools motioning through the job.

Preview Modes

Preview Modes: Wireframe; Tool Motioning in Material; and Fully Animated.

Powerful Graphics Creation

Powerful 3D chisel algorithm quickly and easily generates "V" or hand carved looking graphics and / or text. Select different conical or V-Bit tools and with the click of a mouse, automatically figure out the depth required to create "V" grooved artwork. Toolpaths do not have to be generated to know the depth required.

3D Chisel

The 3D chisel was generated using a 90° V-Bit with a 1.25" inch cutting diameter. The text was generated in ProfileLab 3D using the Times New Roman True Type font set at a height of 1.547 inches. The maximum cut depth is 0.1317 inches.

An example of a two tool job using a 3D chisel and a S-sweep fill. A 1/8th inch end mill is used with the S-sweep fill to mill out the logo at a depth of 0.2 inches. tools using the Toolpath Viewer.

A 90° V-Bit with a 1.25" inch cutting diameter and flat bottom tip of 0.02 inches is used with the 3D chisel toolpath to create a hand carved look. The maximum cut depth is 0.2 inches. Two tool jobs are easily managed either automatically using ProfileLab's ATC (Automatic Tool Change) support or by enabling / disabling
