FEATURES

The DeskProto software is available in three different editions:
DeskProto V 5.0 Full is the flagship edition, which includes all available features.
DeskProto V 5.0 Lite is the lowcost edition, offering all that is needed for basic 3D machining.
DeskProto V 4.2 Full is a re-release of the previous version, added as lowcost edition in times of crisis.

In order to decide which edition will suit your needs you can use the Comparison Table shown below.
Or you can of course use it to compare DeskProto with other CAM programs.
