is software specifically designed for PCB (Printed Circuit Board) prototyping, using the Accurate 350 Desktop CNC machine. Our main goal is to create high quality software that is both extremely accurate and user friendly. Very clear and simplified user interface utilizes pop-up menus, function buttons and high quality graphics. Selections and calculations for standard operations are automatic, but the operations can be accessed by the user if needed. You can explore the PhCNC functionality through our demo (available at the download page). Please note that some of the software capabilities are missing in the demo version, nevertheless, it is completely functional, since it simulates the presence of the Accurate 350. We welcome you to try it out today without any obligations!

PhCNC has two modes of operation, namely, the CAM and CNC modes. At start up, PhCNC 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 the Accurate 350. In the CNC Mode, the user can execute the programs that have been generated by PhCNC to control the Accurate 350. Note that you can switch between the two modes at any time. Here is a screenshot of each of them:

Below are listed the operations you can perform in each mode. Please consult the PhCNC Short User's Manual for a more detailed overview or the PhCNC User's Manual for a complete description of all the features included in this software. Both manuals are available at the download page.

List of available operations in the CAM mode

• Load one or more PCB designs
• Group/Ungroup multiple PCB designs
• Copy/Delete/Select/Deselect/Move objects or groups
• Rotate objects or groups by an arbitrary angle
• Visually check insulation tracks
• Assign regions for excessive copper rubout and choose the tools to be used in the rubout process
• Select inner/outer tool diameter compensation for all cutting operations
• Universal input "PhCNC printer" driver allows you to import your design for front panels and nameplates from any CAD software (not available in the demo version)
• Load/Save/Import PhCNC project files (PHJ)

List of available operations in the CNC mode

• Insulation (top and bottom layer)
• Rubout (top and bottom layer)
• Drill (top or bottom layer)
• Cutout (top or bottom layer)

Even though, the software is very powerful, it is designed to be incredibly easy to use, so once you are equipped with the Accurate 350 run by PhCNC your PCB prototype is just a few clicks away. Just load your PCB files, indicate the instruments for insulation, rubout and cutout, and the Accurate 350 is ready to start!
