2L inc. announced today that it is accepting orders for its’ new PRO 3 CAD/CAM Engraving Software Program.

The
PRO 3 Engraving Software Program creates G-code programs for producing
2D Data Matrix Barcodes on 3 or 4 axis cnc milling machines or
multi-axis lathes. It allows users to mark directly on parts (DPM –
Direct Part Marking) using standard 2L engraving tools and the cnc
equipment they already have. There is no special equipment or machines
required to begin engraving the barcodes.

Being able to produce
the engraved 2D Data Matrix Barcodes along with the human readable text
directly on the cnc machining centers already being used to produce the
components can significantly reduce manufacturing costs. Using a
separate single standalone engraving machine to produce 2D Data Matrix
Barcodes can cause manufacturing bottlenecks and add additional
handling and setup time.

The PRO 3 Engraving Software Program is
a full featured, simple to use drawing program that produces standard
G-code nc files that are compatible with virtually any cnc controller.
This brings the ability to produce 2D Data Matrix Barcodes into the
reach of any machine shop or manufacturing facility that uses cnc
equipment.

The program allows creating precise engraving layouts
using multiple fonts, drawn shapes, lines and incremental serial
numbers along with 2D Data Matrix Barcodes. The engraving layouts can
be precisely located using reference geometry or guidelines. The layout
orientation, alignment, spacing and size of multiple instances of text
are all easily controlled.

The 2D Data Matrix Barcodes can be
produced using any standard 2L engraving tool with either a rigid
toolholder or a Spring Loaded Engraving Tool.

“We are very
pleased to expand the capabilities of our engraving software programs
and respond to our customers requests for simple to use programs that
address challenging engraving opportunities”, stated the company
spokesman.

“Our new program offers a complete easy to use
solution for both the daily straightforward engraving jobs as well as
the much more difficult engraving such as 4 axis engraving or
programming multi axis lathes”, added the spokesman.

“The 2L
Engraving Software programs have proven to be so uncomplicated to use
that novice cnc operators can engrave 2D Data Matrix Barcodes as well
as standard engraving operations, which we feel can significantly add
to both the appearance of the products and the company’s bottom line”
he finalized.
Demonstration videos of 2L’s Engraving Software Programs are available on the company’s web site www.2Linc.com.
