Text can be rotated, scaled, moved, sheared, arranged
along curves, etc. and can be edited again in text edit mode after these
transformations. Besides, text input in a frame is also available, with
automatic line feed.

This function is used for making some designs of serial
number texts.

|
(4)Accurate drawing
Accurate drawing is made easy by means of keyboard input. Feature points
such as end points, midpoints, intersection points, perpendicular feet, and
tangent points can be snapped. |
|

(5)Editing Tools
Various Editing Tools are provided, including trim,
delete, offset, divide, close, simple slice, complex slice, Boolean operation
and duplication. Geometrical-shape-transforming tools include move, rotate,
scale, mirror,shear, perspective distortion, envelop distortion, twist
distortion, push and pull distortion and auto nesting. |
|
 |
（6）Auto Nesting
1) Parameters setting such as kerf width, clearance and Iteration
count;
2) Nesting method setting: starting point
(Left bottom, Right bottom, Left up, Right up), direction: X direction and Y
direction;
3) Precise calculation, such as in
hole nest, to improve the efficiency of working and utilization rate of
material. |
|
|
(7)Node editing
Functions in node editing include: add, delete, disconnect, connect,
close, convert to line, convert to curve, smooth, symmetry, align, start point,
auto remove points, fillet, and vertical. |
 |
(8)Image Processing
Images in various formats can be imported, converted, and stripped. Image
tracing is available with Ucancam in order to extract contour. Angle degrees can
be adjusted, and accurate tracing parameters such as cusp angle, trace error,
fairy number, and threshold of line can be set. |
(9)Layer Management
In Ucancam, you can create graphs on different layers
that can exist together. You can add or delete layers so as to perform
operations on many objects at the same time, while none of the operations
interfere with each other. You can hide or show, and modify each layer. You can
also set color and rename the layers.
(10)Various Viewing
Functions
There are numerous viewing
tools which are used to view objects in the drawing window from different
viewing angles. Viewing tools include zoom in, zoom out, dynamic zoom, pan view,
fit to all, fit to page, and 3D view.
(11)Printer
Setting
You can change the size of the
object if its size exceeds that of the work area of your
machine. |
| CAM |
| Toolpaths are calculated
quickly and accurately. Ucancam provides a Tools Library where users can choose,
edit, add or delete a tool. Various machining solutions are available. Users can
apply toolpath simulation and engraving simulation to check whether tool paths
are valid and to preview machining results. These simulation functions are also
useful to reduce trial cutting times and cut down machining costs and help users
to get valid and effective machining results. |

(1)Profile Machining
Profile Machining is widely used for incising. It includes On Line,
Outside, and Inside machining according to the toolpaths of vectors.
On line:
the machining is processed directly on the vectors.
Outside: cut along the outer-field of vectors.
Inside: cut along the
inner-field of vectors.
|
(2)Area Clearance
Area Clearance is to mill an area in the material. There are two types of
milling: raster and offset. It is commonly used in our work.Offset (a machinery
strategy of Area clearance) has changed the line-transition into arc-transition
and the arc buffer has been added as a transition for sharp corners to
adjust to high-speed milling. |

(3)3D Engraving
3D engraving is to make the surface of the material
smooth and to ensure the definition, precision and third dimension effect of the
machined object. It is mainly used in seal engraving and engraving of characters
with special effects.
3D engraving includes top and bottom engraving, and the
difference between them is the size of the machining area.
|
|
|
(4)V-carving
V-carving uses
a constant angled cutter that's moved flowing variable depth to creat a 3D
carved effect on the job, similar to the way a craftsman could work by
hand. |
| |
(5)Drilling
Drilling is widely used in engraving, especially in
decoration industry. During drilling, you should set the depth and gap of the
holes before machining. |
|
|
(6)Insert And
Inlay
This is a special function
of engraving. It is an important measure to make sign marks and
craftworks. |
|
|
(7)Intelligent Machining
Efficiency in milling can be greatly improved when
applying Intelligent Machining. Two different tools can be chosen from the
toolpath, the tool with lager diameter will be used for rough machining, and the
smaller one will be used for precision machining. In the first machining, the
speed is greatly improved, and after the second process, you will get what you
want. |
 |
(8)Prism Machining
By prism machining, it becomes easier for you to make characters with
prism effect, and sign mark. Toolpaths can be created quickly and efficiently.
If you want to make a massive work, it can be machined layer by layer, and you
can fit them together when finished. There are two kinds of angles for you to
choose, rounded angle and cusp angle. The prism will display clearly. Prism
machining is quick to learn and easy to use. |
 |
(9）Embossing Machining
Embossing machining is mainly used in making relief. There are two modes
in embossing: concave relief machining and convex relief machining. With ease
operation, you will get accurate relief. It is widely used in such fields as
advertising sign, sign board, breast card, furniture, metallic moulds,
printings, etc. |
 |
(10)Image Dot Machining
Image dot machining is to engrave the object after the image is converted
into grayscale image. Dots are made on the material based on the different
grayscale value. The higher the grayscale value is, the deeper and bigger the
dots are, and vice versa. |
 |
(11)Image Relief Machining
Image relief machining is to engrave the object after the image is
converted into grayscale image. The machining is based on brightness level. Min
brightness depth and max brightness depth are the depth by which the tool goes
into the material. Horizontal/vertical machining is the direction of the tool
path. |
|
|
(12)Toolpath Simulation
Machining process can be previewed through toolpath simulation, thus
avoiding trial cutting and reducing cost. This function is helpful for choosing
a proper machining
type. |
