This program is for flat engraving of nameplates and the like. It can use any TrueType fonts
registered with Windows. It also comes with its own stroke fonts. You can even import
images and engrave items such as logos. There is even a feature that lets you import data
from a list of names and engrave nameplates one after another.
This program is for designing and engraving reliefs (raised engravings). This lets you easily
add thickness to text, shapes, and imported images, and create three-dimensional reliefs.
This program is for freely cutting three-dimensional shapes. You cannot perform designing
using this program alone. MODELA 3D Design and MODELA 3D Text are included.
This is a Windows-based driver required for sending data from a computer to the machine.
Be sure to install it when you are using any of the programs just described.
This program is for performing simulations before you actually carry out cutting using 3D
Engrave or MODELA Player. It lets you verify the finished results for shapes, the time
required for cutting, and other factors. This can help reduce loss in terms of material and
time.
