Dear John Smith,

We are happy to send you this next issue of the DeskProto newsletter,
about "CNC machining for non-machinists".  We hope that you will enjoy reading.

Next pictureframe video: now machine it from two sides ! As promised in the March Newsletter, a tutorial video on two-sided machining has been added. It teaches you how to create toolpaths using the 'Two-Sided' wizard, making a frame in wood with a cavity for the photo on the back side. The frame is a free geometry, that comes with every trial version. View itvia YouTube >> or via the DeskProto Frame videos page >>

New Sherline-to-Roland adapter for 123WaxRing The Sherline adapter that was available for 123WaxRing proved to be imperfect: accurately aligning and centering the adapter was too difficult. So a new self-centering adapter has been designed (centering collar left, countersunk surface right): now available from stock. See the pictures on www.123waxring.com >>

Lower prices for 123WaxRing The number of sales for the 123WaxRing system has made it possible to reduce the price for 123WaxRing. The price for a complete kit has been reduced from EUR 395 to EUR 295.00, and also the new Sherline adapter (see above) is cheaper than the previous one. For more information see www.123waxring.com >>

DP-made dinosaur footprint: latest Gallery project. The latest addition to the DeskProto Gallery shows an amazing project: 160 million year old footprints are recreated using DeskProto. Fossilized footprints have been scanned using the free 123D Catch service, and from the resulting STL file toolpaths have been generated to machine a replica. Meet a Mantellisaurus on the Fossilized dinosaur footprint page >>

Try for yourself and download the DeskProto trial version from our website.
To get started you can use the tutorials (both video and PDF) and the sample geometries.
This is all possible completely free of charge !
