We have released DeskProto Version 8.1
Many readers will be
interested in the new Wizard for Inlays, as we
received many requests to make creating inlays
easier. Other new features are the option to create
Dogbone fillets for sharp corners in vector curves,
and the option to laser engrave bitmap images, also
on curved surfaces. See the two images above.
You can find a list of new features on page New in
DeskProto Version 8.1
DeskProto V8.1 is a free upgrade for
users of Version 8.0 You can install the new
version next to V8.0: installing will not affect the current
version.

Tips for some CNC machines
Over the years we have received a lot of information about various CNC
milling machines: especially about how to configure
DeskProto for your machine.
The web page Tip&Tricks
shares this information: open it to see if your machine is listed.
More tips are always welcome: we
do not have these machines in our small workshop so we
depend on your information in order to inform other users.

Gallery: Carnival parade float
The carnival float (in Dutch een 'praalwagen') shown above was
part of the 2026 carnival parade in the Dutch city
of Bergen op Zoom. Each enormous head on
this float has been CNC machined with the DeskProto CAM
software, using a custom built CNC machine with a 4th
axis (vertically oriented).
The
Gallery page tells about this project in more detail. Including
information about the machine, and a video of the float in the parade.
When you want to see more projects by DeskProto users: follow us on
Facebook and/or
Instagram.
