About ESPRIT and DP Technology
ESPRIT CAM is a powerful software solution that enables users to program any CNC machine tool (2 - 5 axis Milling, 2 - 22 axis Turning, 2 - 5 axis Wire-EDM) and machine any part geometry (solid, surface, wire frame) from any source (CAD system, blue print, etc). Because it is built upon 100% native Windows(r), users can easily extend ESPRIT's capabilities with Visual Basic, creating macros and add-ins with an industry-standard programming language, instead of relying on a proprietary language.

The ESPRIT Developer Network, located at www.dptechnology.com/espritaddinstore/
edn.htm, provides support for third-party software developers and end-users to build and sell software solutions, macros and add-ins to the ESPRIT community. Add-ins that are approved by DP as Commercial Solutions receive the company's endorsement, along with the opportunity for a DP-sponsored news release, a classified advertisement in ESPRIT de Corps (the ESPRIT user magazine), trade show exposure and other promotional advantages.
