Overview

EnRoute CNC Software
EnRoute 4 Makes things easy. Continuing to be the most versatile professional CAD/CAM software, EnRoute delivers innovative solutions for fast, efficient and precise results. EnRoute stands out among other CAD/CAM software packages because it combines state-of-the-art technology into tools that are easy to learn, master and operate.

Ease-of-use
The ease-of-use could be misleading until you see all of the powerful features and capabilities EnRoute includes.

Get it done fast
Everyone wants a product that is easy to use but how can this be measured? Count the number of clicks from design to production. There are only 4 clicks to toolpath a part and output to the machine with EnRoute. It doesn't get easier that this!

Easy to learn
You've got enough to think about every day, you don't need to stress over your software too. The logical user interface makes sense for new and seasoned users, enabling you to work more effectively.

Ease of Use = Productivity...
With the new bottom panel that replaces the floating precision input box dialog, the interface is more streamlined and out of the way. We have reordered the menus to make it more concise too.

Textures & 3d Sculpting...
The new texturing tool makes it easy to design unlimited texturing in a click of a button--see this for yourself! The new Touchup Tools will let you quickly edit a relief or create one from scratch using your mouse like a hammer and a chisel. There are no limits to your imagination!

Design...
A complete text object is introduced in the new EnRoute 4; with text on arc, text on curve, kerning, letter height, width and so on, reducing the need to use other design applications.
Do it all right inside EnRoute 4. New drawing, editing, shape measure & dimension tools make producing all your creations simpler and friendlier than ever before.
Improved Path Editing Tools are even more powerful and an ideal match for the best vectorization engine in the industry. Using the improved fillet, trim & extend and offset tool, design possiblities are limitless.

Quick Nesting...
Nesting was never so easy, just drag the object and it will automatically fit itself where it can, as if the object can think for itself!

Fast Rendering...
Fast rendering keeps you moving. Once Rendered, you can see the changes as they happen to your rendered file.

Scalable Solution
Whether you want software that will GROW your CAD/CAM business or you want software that will GROW WITH your CAD/CAM business, EnRoute 4 is the software for you!

 

EnRoute Basic

  • Ease-of-use that is unequalled in the industry. The Graphical User Interface is laid out logically, and gives you the option to work both visually and technically.
  • Don't just output, design and output all within EnRoute.
  • Save time. Associative Toolpaths keep an active link between the toolpath and the geometry, automatically recalculating accurately any time the geometry is changed (i.e. scale, resize, rotate).
  • Use Templates to utilize elements saved from previous jobs to simplify the design-to-production process.
  • Simple, not Simplistic. EnRoute 4 combines state-of-the-art technology with tools you can quickly learn, master and operate.

  • 100s of posts included with EnRoute 4, to all of the leading manufacturer's machines. If by some chance you don't see your machine listed, just ask!

User Profile: Custom 2D parts and shapes.

 

EnRoute Plus

  • Quick Fit Nesting - Was never so easy! Just drag the object and it will automatically fit itself in the most space-efficient way, almost like the object can think for itself! The rotation and nesting parameters can still be controlled.

User Profile: Custom 2D parts and shapes, fast decorative accents, production runs.


EnRoute Pro

  • Baroque Chamfer - This tool is unique to EnRoute and allows the user to replicate an effect that is very common in hand-carved work.
  • Textures - The new textures available in EnRoute 4 provide a unique new ability to define surfaces using parameters. This provides the ability to create a virtually limitless selection of surfaces that can be saved to templates so that they are easily repeatable from job to job.
  • Relief Editing - The new relief editing tools provide a quick and simple method for editing any relief surface using tools that are similar to bitmap painting tools. This provides another powerful creative tool for relief creation.

User Profile: Custom 2D parts and shapes, fast decorative accents, production runs plus the ability to create full 3D 3 axis output.
