The MDSnc CNC control Suite is a wholistic CNC machine control Windows based software package. It is compatible with all of MDSmotion controllers and has been retrofitted on numerous machines worldwide. Due to its flexible design and use of custom macros to control IO functions (written in python), it can be easily customized to many different XY table based applications.
MDSnc has found success as a replacement controller for Waterjet cutters and has been retrofitted to many brands of waterjet. It is user friendly, with its large, graphical display. It also has its own integrated CAD module, which eliminates the need for a separate post processor, although it can be tailored to run from your favorite post processor.
