INTRODUCTION
The XMD CNC routers are computer-controlled machines capable of tooling such materials as
wood, plywood, PVC, XPS, EPS, dibond or „soft” metals such as aluminum, brass or copper. They
are not suitable for working with e.g. steel, glass or stone.
Thanks to modern electronics, advanced software and cast iron frame they are suitable for both
2D and 3D projects.
All XMD routers come standard with automatic tool length measuring system, automatic homing
process based on proximity switches and spindle-cooling system. Optional accessories include tool-
cooling system and a wired remote control.
The proprietary software provided with the machine is user-friendly, yet at the same time fully
featured, enabling full control over the working process. Along with the machine, two pieces of
software are provided:
– MegaCut is suitable for all sorts of 2D projects where the customer has full control over the
cutting or engraving process by preparing a suitable drawing and setting required parameters in
MegaCut configuration.
– MegaCut3D is a full 3D application which generated the tool paths based on a three-
dimensional model and the parameters the operator sets for each operation. Thanks to a user-
friendly interface and advanced algorithms, working with MegaCut 3D requires only basic CNC
knowledge and spatial imagination.
The working speed as well as spindle rotations can be modified during the cutting process.
Additionally, the cutting process can be stopped at any time and then continued (e.g. when the
cutting tool requires a clean up). Some of the important parameters, such as tool length or the
project's starting point are saved in the electronic controller, thanks to which it is possible to to
restart the cutting process from any location on a 3D project. It is especially useful when e.g. a long
tooling process is interrupted by a power cut-out. Each time the machine is turned on it
automatically homes in relation to the proximity switches, thanks to which it is ready to continue a
previously started job.
