ZENON DTP - Cutting, Milling and Engraving under NEXTSTEP
Schoenaich, Germany, April 25, 1994 - A powerful tool for all
persons whose business has to do with the engraving or cutting of
all kind of signs and advertisement boards has been presented
recently by VHF Computer. ZENON allows the import of PostScript,
Adobe Illustrator, HPGL and DXF files from DTP or CAD applications
and their processing on common routing plotters, which is completely
new on the NEXTSTEP platform.
Frank Benzinger, sales manager of VHF Computer, stated on the
occasion of the world's biggest industrial fair (Hannover, Germany)
that "ZENON's concept of combining CAM machines with the possibilities
of NEXTSTEP applications is revolutionary". Furthermore he underlined
that ZENON's operation is very easy to learn and this allows even
non-specialists to handle CAM machines in a very short time.
And indeed, after reading one of the file types mentioned above
ZENON displays it in a preview window. For each color of such a
document a different tool may be selected which makes it possible
to process workpieces in several steps. All parameters required
for this (workpiece origin, feeding speed, tool data etc.) are easy
to set in clearly laid out dialog boxes.
ZENON offers a wide scope of possibilities especially for advertising
companies and engraving studios. However, ZENON is not only good
for sign production or personal engraving of promotional gifts. It
helps in prototyping or mini-series production of front plates or
housing parts, too.
The most common application of ZENON surely is in engraving signs
of all kinds. With the simple processing of traditional materials
like plastics, metals and laminates signs from small nameplates to
large advertisement boards may be produced quickly and efficiently.
On top of that, the radius correction for the cutter extends ZENON's
functionality by adding outline cutting of labels, graphics, logos
etc. Moreover, inlaying where workpieces have to be cut precisely
to fit into each other has become quite easy now.
VHF Computer was foundet in 1988 and is specialized in developing
CAD/CAM products for NEXTSTEP, MS-Windows and other platforms. A
well-known product is the PCB Design System Platon, which will be
available for NEXTSTEP in a new version.
Products: Platon (PCB Design System), m800 (CNC-Controller), OpenEnd
(Vector Graphics Converter), Zenon PCB (PCB Prototyping), Zenon
DTP (engraving and cutting software for advertising), Zenon CUT
(Cutting Software), Janus (Atari ST compatible card for PCs).
Additionally, VHF Computer supplies custom import- and export
programs.
