At Mikon Machinery, we believe in offering our customers a CHOICE in software. In other words, we do not force you to use one particular software package to run a machine. CNC machines simply follow point to point instructions generated by CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) software . There are many CAM software packages on the market that work with our CNC machines. A few examples are listed below.
Primarily excelling in the sign and graphics industry, Enroute, a comprehensive CAM software, offers specialized features for texturing, raster to vector conversion, and other critical aspects of sign making. Its applications extend to both CNC routers and knife cutters, making it a versatile choice for various programming needs. Enroute is notably compatible with all Mikon and MultiCam routers, as well as most other 3-axis CNC routers on the market, standing out for its broad machine compatibility. It offers flexible licensing options, with both annual and permanent licenses available to suit your diverse needs.
