The DeskProto videos are grouped by subject. Clicking on any of the groups shown below will bring you to the video page for that subject. On each page you can find a few videos, and also a free download of the STL file used in the videos, in order to run the process and create your own model !
You can find Tutorial videos, videos that show the machining process, and also pictures of resulting models in various sizes and materials.
Do email us a photo of the model that you created so we can add that to the list of results (in case you want that: with a link to your website).
Do not forget to switch on your sound before starting.
The
Bottle videos give you basic information on how to use DeskProto: the user interface, how to import a geometry, orientate it, calculate toolpaths and save these in an NC program file. Also the important concept of roughing and finishing is explained.
Basic DeskProto use: a model that can be machined from one side, or like the bottle can be machined in two halves to be glued together later.
The
Venus videos are about rotation axis machining. A rotation axis is a "barbecue type" fourth axis, that makes the model rotate during machining. The STL file used is the head of Venus de Milo, and this STL file is a very popular (free) geometry download.
The
Coat-Of-Arms relief videos show you how to create complex relief geometry (a beautiful Coat of Arms). The geometry of this relief is a free download as well: the most popular STL download on the DeskProto website.
The
Lithophane videos tell you all you need to know to machine your own lithophanes. A special DeskProto application, producing amazing results while still very easy to machine.
Jewelry is an important DeskProto application, and the
Jewelry videos will teach you how to create toolpaths for creating jewelry wax models.
