EnRoute 24.2 — CAD/CAM Software for CNC Router, Laser & Plasma

EnRoute 24.2 by SAi is the industry-leading CAD/CAM software for CNC routing, sign making, woodworking and fabrication. Combining an intuitive 2D and 3D design environment with a powerful toolpath engine, it drives CNC routers, laser cutters, plasma cutters, waterjet cutters and knife cutters from a single platform — covering everything from simple profile cuts to complex 3D relief machining without switching applications.

Version 24.2 brings improved true-shape, dynamic and block nesting for maximised sheet yield, Rapid Texture and Rapid Picture for unique parametric surface designs, the Sharp Corner Relief tool for clean inside corners, full 3D toolpath simulation before output, and updated post-processors for the widest range of CNC machines. Compatible with Windows 10 and 11 — designed for sign shops, woodworkers, cabinet makers and industrial fabricators.

• 2D & 3D toolpath generation Profile, pocket, V-groove, 3D engrave, follow contour and pyramid toolpaths
• True-shape, dynamic & block nesting Maximise sheet yield and reduce material waste across all job types
• Remnant creation & nest to remnant Save off-cuts as templates and nest future jobs directly onto remnant panels
• Sharp Corner Relief Auto-applies corner reliefs for clean inside corners — no manual cleanup needed
• 3D toolpath simulation Realistic rendered preview of all 2D and 3D toolpaths before output
• Rapid Texture & Rapid Picture Create parametric surface textures or image-based reliefs in just a few clicks
• 3D relief design tools Extrusion, model stacker, relief slicing, baroque chamfer and mesh-to-relief
• Large panel tiling Automatically tiles oversized designs across multiple sheets for large-format output
• Braille conversion Built-in text-to-Braille conversion for ADA-compliant signage production
• Parametric Design macros Automate repetitive design tasks with customisable parametric templates
• Advanced text tools Dimensional lettering, contour text, path text and full font management
• Multi-machine support Drives CNC routers, laser cutters, plasma, waterjet and knife cutters
• Post-processor library Wide range of machine-specific post-processors for direct G-code output
• Contour & part distortion Wrap designs around shapes and distort artwork to fit complex panel geometries

• CNC routers MultiCam, CAMaster, ShopBot, Thermwood, Komo, Anderson, Biesse and most major CNC router brands via post-processor.
• Laser cutters Compatible laser cutting and engraving systems with supported post-processors.
• Plasma cutters Plasma cutting tables and CNC plasma systems.
• Waterjet cutters Waterjet cutting systems via EnRoute post-processor output.
• Knife cutters Digital knife cutting tables for foam, composites and soft materials.
