SCA v2.5 micromachining software

For convenient operation of a laser micromachining system, SCA software hides different device integration from the end user. SCA software integrates design (CAD), manufacturing (CAM) and device control functionality for truly accurate 3D micromachining.

User interface
- Algorithm table with easily selectable/editable parameters
- Graphical trajectory preview window WYSIWYG
- 3D trajectory preview
- File format support for .bmp, .plt, .dxf
- Gray scale Bitmap fabrication mode
- Text fabrication mode (numbers, text, symbols, spaces, fonts)
- Virtual (keyboard or GUI ) joystick
- Current position display
- Object (point, line, image) selection in preview window; ability to rotate, translate or scale selected object

We have implemented WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) principle for convenient fabrication preview. The software is modular type, so it is easy to insert new modules for new tasks and/or additional devices.

Fabrication trajectories can be defined by directly writing coordinates, or by importing them from other file formats for example .plt, .bmp, .dxf. For control convenience of 3D object positioning system, possibility to operate the system by joystick is included (hardware or virtual-software (joystick has: fast-slow mode, fast laser on/off, jump to start position, freemove or jump by defined step)).
