16 Who would benefit from the Desktop edition? The Desktop edition offers great value for money if: You have a small, light duty, CNC machine. You mostly work on parts that are smaller than 24 x 24 (600mm x 600mm). You do not require production level layout, cutting or toolpath optimisations You do not have a rotary axis on your CNC You are a hobbyist or maker on a tight budget IMPORTANT: Upgrading from Desktop to Pro will only cost you the difference between the retail prices of each product.

17 Who would benefit from the Pro edition? You should be looking at the Pro edition if: You have a CNC machine with a work area that is larger than 24 x 24 (600mm x 600mm). You are a commercial user such as Cabinet Maker, Sign Maker, Plastic Fabricator etc. You need to do production oriented work to maximize material yield or create multiple copies of the same part You are semi-professional and want access to all tools and features You specifically need any of the additional Pro production tools or features below: o Unlimited physical job or toolpath size (no 25 x 25 limit) o True Shape Nesting to optimize toolpath times & minimize material waste o Toolpath Templates to automate & re-use your toolpath strategies o Merge Toolpaths to optimize cutting paths & minimise air moves o Scripting support to add your own custom functionality or to automate repetitive processes o Access to the Gadget library of downloadable plugins o Rotary Axis Support (Not Cut2D Pro)
