I am a newbie for Denford Milling Machine and Software.

Currently, I am working on QuickCAM 3D. But I notice that there is an other software by the name of QuickCAM PRO. Wonder what will be the different between this two software?

The pro version has more "fancy" machining types available:

Hi, Denford Admin.

Thank you for your information.

But what do all this Plans do? When do we need to make use of this Plans for our Milling in F1 D-Types and R-Types?

We no longer supply QuickCAM 3D The PRO version has replaced it.

QuickCAM PRO has the same cutting stratergies as 3D plus lots of others. The other stratergies would allow you to improve the finish on a car. While the basic raster finishing is the quickest option there are contour lines left by the cutter. The other stratergies would allow you to finish areas of the model (using the custom boundary option) then add additional machining plans.

Hi, Steve.

Thank you for your information.

But I understand that we need to pay extra on top of the milling machine as for the QuickCAM Pro, is that right?

For making F1 cars, a raster plan is usually enough to get a good enough finish (before finish sanding by hand)

I would check with your F1 In Schools in-country coordinator to see if they have a special offer for QuickCAM 3D - I believe Denford have stopped supplying it, but F1 In Schools sometimes offer it free to schools when they sign up to the F1 challenge

Thank you, Denford Admin.

Where are you located?

With new machines we supply 2D software to allow you to make parts but QuickCAM PRO is somthing you have to purchase.

I do not think we supply the QuickCAM 3D anywhere now. It was available with F1 registration in the past as a special offer.

Hi, Steve.

Thank you for your information. I will inform my users.

BTW, I am from Singapore.
