Design straight to machine.

The system DS2M runs on. It holds your products, draws each one at the size ordered, nests the parts, writes the toolpaths and G-code, and keeps the customer's quote with the same job. We built it to run our own van racking business.

Once a product is set up on the platform, yes: every size you sell draws itself, from the parts to the files for the machine, with nothing redrawn. Setting up your own products is part of early access, and we do it with you.

It does the job CAM does, without you doing it. CAM software turns a drawing into G-code once you've picked toolpaths, cutters and depths by hand. DS2M already knows those for your machine, so a finished design goes straight to checked G-code.

A converter turns lines into moves, but you still have to decide the cutter, depth, passes and order for every line. DS2M decides those from what it has learned about your machine, then checks the result. Bringing in drawings from other software is part of early access.

Yes. DS2M nests the job and writes the files for every sheet at once: one file a sheet, or one file for each cutter on each sheet if you change cutters by hand.

Not for jobs designed on the platform: DS2M writes their G-code itself. You'll use your CAM software once, to toolpath the set-up sheet so DS2M can learn your machine. For drawings made elsewhere, that's part of early access.

Those design cabinets and write G-code through a post-processor for your machine. DS2M isn't tied to cabinets: it works for anything cut from sheets, checks every file before it's made, and gets it to a DSP handheld over WiFi, with no PC at the machine.

We're starting with DSP handheld controllers that read files from a USB stick. It's tested in our workshop on a RichAuto A11. Tell us your controller when you join early access and we'll tell you where it stands.

A handheld unit, about the size of a TV remote, that runs many hobby and trade CNC routers without a PC. It reads G-code from a USB stick and moves the machine. The RichAuto A11 is a common one.

The CS stick plugs into the handheld's USB port and makes its own small WiFi network. Your iPad or PC joins it and sends the file. The handheld then sees the file as if it were on an ordinary USB stick, so there's no stick to carry back and forth.

The CS stick is built for DSP handhelds and is tested on a RichAuto A11 in our own workshop: the handheld reads it as a normal USB stick and runs the file. Ordinary WiFi memory sticks usually can't take a file over WiFi while they're plugged in as a USB drive.

Not at the machine. The stick makes its own network. You need the internet to get the file from the platform, then you join the stick's network to send it.

No. The handheld reads the stick the same way it reads any USB stick.

For your own designs you'll be able to save the files to an ordinary USB stick and carry it over. The CS stick saves that walk: files arrive over WiFi, and it only shows the files the platform sent for that machine.

Never. It only holds the file. The handheld runs it when you press run, exactly as it would from a USB stick.

Yes. A file written for a tool changer won't stop for you to swap cutters: on our A11 it carried straight on. Without a tool changer, DS2M makes one file for each cutter, so the machine finishes one cutter's work and you change it before the next file. With a tool changer, it can be one file for the whole sheet.

Before a file exists, DS2M reads every line back: no fast moves below the safe height, nothing deeper than the board allows, nothing off the sheet, the spindle running before any cut, holes made by a cutter of their own size, feeds and speeds inside your machine's limits. If one check fails there's no file, only the line and the reason.

Usually because Z zero wasn't set again for the new cutter, which sits at a different length in the collet. DS2M tells you which cutter goes in next and to set Z before that file runs, and it refuses to write any cut deeper than your board and spoilboard allow.

Loading the sheet, setting zero, fitting the cutter and pressing run. DS2M prompts each one in order, and tells you which cutter goes in next.

Yes. They come from your set-up sheet and your cutters, not from a generic table. Change a cutter's figures and the next file follows them.

Today DS2M cuts for a vacuum bed, with no tabs. Leaving a thin skin under small parts on the last pass, then taking it off, is the next option we're adding, set per machine.

It depends on your cutters and your vacuum. Some shops skim every few sheets, others use a thin spoilboard and replace it. We're adding a count of the sheets cut on each machine, with a reminder at the interval you choose.

No. Someone still loads the sheet, sets zero, fits the cutters and runs the machine. DS2M removes the CAM step that needed a specialist, so more of your team can run jobs and your experts can spend their time on new products.

Where it helps. The safety checks are fixed rules, not guesses, so a file passes or fails the same way every time. We're building AI into setting up new products, so it asks you the right questions instead of you writing rules by hand.

Prices come with launch. Join early access and you'll hear first, with the chance to try it on your own machine.
