• Text Explanations full of "Real World" experience - The KipwareEDU designers have many years of "in the trenches" experience as shop programmers and programming instructors. Therefore KipwareEDU goes beyond just teaching CNC programming and adds "real life" meaning and assitance for shop floor personnel as they learn CNC.
• 3D Animations complete with Voice Explanations - KipwareEDU offers easy to follow 3D animation explanations for many of the controls. These animations are accompanied by a voice explanation to make it that much easier to learn CNC and CNC programming. Our animation is designed to show our "real world" experience instead of just a pretty picture. They are simple and easy to use without all of the bells and whistles to get in the way and confuse ... simple yet powerful CNC training.
• More CNC Controls - While most software and training manuals only offer information about 1 type of CNC control, KipwareEDU offers information about ALL MAJOR CONTROLS. KipwareEDU is COMPLETE CNC programming training and built to be relevant for the long haul.
• Easy to Use - KipwareEDU is a user-friendly program that allows our customers to learn at their own speed. Its easy to use interface also makes it a great reference tool for CNC operators and programmers. We offer straighforward menus which makes it easy to navigate through the software. Our animation is also very easy to use and our controls make it simple to toggle between the graphical and text explanations for a pleasurable CNC training experience.
• A Complete Package - The basic KipwareEDU package combines the testing WIZARDS, OPERATOR PANEL trainer, and BACKPLOTTING SOFTWARE to create a complete comprehensive CNC programming training package for individual, corporate or technical school use.
• Low Cost - Learn CNC with professional instruction at a cost everyone can afford!!
• Advanced Training - KipwareEDU® now goes beyond just CNC programming and operation training, our Fanuc Custom Macro B Version and Manufacturing Engineering Version will bring you or your shop personnel to the next level ... and that means increased EVERYTHING !!!

KipwareEDU Uses
Used by Indivduals, Schools, Colleges, and Corporations Around the World

• Individual: You can further your shop floor skills even if you're not a CNC programmer. The knowledge gained by learning with KipwareEDU will help you see the "whole picture" of CNC machining. It will shed new light on the areas you may be confused about and in the process make you a better operator and enhance your chances for advancement. In addition, the other "non programming" areas of KipwareEDU will help advance other shop floor skills.
• Shop Floor Use: Companies put KipwareEDU on their shop floor PC's and let their personnel use it for reference and CNC training. If the programming department has a question - use KipwareEDU as a "live" programming manual. If operators want to learn more about why their machine does what it does, KipwareEDU is the perfect reference tool - quick, complete and easy to use.
• Shop Training: You can give it to key employees to take home and learn CNC programming at their own pace in the comfort of their own home. We have many customers who use KipwareEDU as part of their in-house training program. It's amazing what a little interest in your employees can do for a shop's morale, attitude, and efficiency. KipwareEDU is a win-win deal for both employer and employee.
• Technical Schools and Colleges: We currently have many technical schools and colleges that use KipwareEDU for CNC training in their shops, lab, or combine the power of KipwareEDU with their curriculum. We also have schools that re-sell KipwareEDU in their bookstores for their students to purchase and use later in the "real world". School discounts are availabe, contact Kentech Inc. for more information.

Customer Comments:

These are comments about our former version of KipwareEDU, Protalk. Imagine what Customers will be saying about the new and improved KipwareEDU!!

"As you know, last October I purchased the PROTALK CNC Training Software for lathes. I had just started to operate a Nakamura TMC3 with a Fanuc 6T Control. Within a couple of weeks I was editing the part programs to make them more efficient and this was before I could actually set up the machines. Since that time I've learned to setup as well as operate the machines. ..."

"... I printed out the lessons and made a book that's always with me when covering new ground. I anticipate ordering the PROTALK Training Software for mills in the near future. Your software was one of the most reasonably priced and provided me with the necessary training to move successfully in a positive direction. Also, my superiors were impressed enough with my rapid progress to award me a pay increase ... "

"I am currently using your lathe and mill software to teach our students the programming basics needed for employment in industry. The programs are easy to use and students can work independently to sharpen their skills. The graphics enable the students to actually view the cutter paths for certain G codes which is the most difficult aspect to explain when teaching CNC programming. Your software is a welcome addition to our curricula. Anyone training individuals to program CNC equipment will find that PROTALK makes the task easier. For people with little knowledge of CNC programming, BUY IT !!!!!!"
