PhCNC LSSE is a software specifically designed for PCB (Printed Circuit Board) prototyping. It generates an output G code, which allows the creation of prototypes, on practically any 3-axis CNC machine. It can save significant amount of money/time for anyone who already has a CNC system on hand that is accurate enough for the job. Due to the very specific requirements for Z axis performance (High RPM and very precise tool penetration) your CNC system may not give you the results that you can achieve using our prototyping machines. Please make all tests offered before you purchase this product.
PhCNC LSSE is a light version of our PhCNC software (offered with the machines from the series Accurate 3xx/5xx/4xx/6xx). The software generates a output G-code program for insulation, copper rubout, drilling, cutting and stencil manufacturing (top and / or bottom layer).
PhCNC LSSE does not include CNC controller, but only a hardware simulator of CNC machine (PhCNC LSSE USB dongle):

Important:
In order to use G code on your CNC machine you must have a compatible driver software. It is recommended, before you purchase our software to do the following:
• Install PhCNC Demo, in order to review and test your projects (Gerber RS274-X & Excellon files)
• Execute the testing G code (G test), generated by PhCNC LSSE on your CNC machine
PhCNC LSSE has two modes of operation, namely, the CAM and CNC modes. At start up, PhCNC LSSE enters the CAM mode, where you can open your files and edit the final layout of your prototype. Here, you can also specify the tools, which will be used when the prototype PCB is being produced by your CNC machine.
In the CNC Mode, the user can execute (optional) the programs that have been generated by PhCNC LSSE to simulate the control of your CNC machine.
| CAM mode | CNC mode | |

The CNC mode of PhCNC LSSE is a simulator of CNC machine with parameters, set-up by the user (working
sizes, tool paths, design, …).
