| A Complete Suite of Software Tools... A Better Answer. |
| Our vision is to provide the NC programmer with a complete suite of software tools for
every conceivable NC programming task. Due to the extremely diverse nature of the NC machining community,
many individual needs are difficult to identify, let alone commit resources for their development.
Traditionally NC programmers have used “macros” to solve this problem. We have a better answer! By enabling
add-in technology in ESPRIT, DP empowers you (third parties) to create add-in macros for not only your
benefit, but for the benefit of the worldwide ESPRIT community as well. “We ’re encouraging our users to
create these add-ins. Then we’ll market them to the entire machining population” says DP. “A user who creates
an add-in may decide that it’s freeware, and not charge anything. Or they might develop something that’s
fairly sophisticated – a commercial application – and set a price.” |

| The Fastest Growing CAM Community... A Tremendous Opportunity. |
| The momentum and growth of ESPRIT as the CAM system of choice provides a tremendous
opportunity for NC programmers, CAD/CAM resellers, and software developers alike to profit from supplying
and sharing add-in software. The ESPRIT Developer Network, in conjunction with the ESPRIT Add-In Store,
provides you with an easy mechanism to develop and share these add-ins. Make your contribution to the ESPRIT
Add-In Store by joining the ESPRIT Developer Network today at www.dptechnology.com/edn. It ’s simple and
it’s free. This world-class developer program provides you with all of the tools and support you need to
be successful developing add-in software and macros for ESPRIT. |

| The ESPRIT Advantage... Without Limits. |
| It’s easy to build macros and add-ins for ESPRIT because our CAM system uses the
Windows ® standard COM (Component Object Model) technology to provide you with an extensive API (Applications
Programming Interface). This API allows access into ESPRIT, letting you control just about anything the
software is capable of doing, while extending ESPRIT’s capability without limits. More importantly,we have
built Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) directly into ESPRIT. Visual Basic is the industry standard and
the most widely used macro and scripting language. This means VBA is easy to learn, easy to use, and most
importantly, highly reliable. Are you a software developer using VB or C++? No problem. Use the ESPRIT API
and connect your software into our CAM system. It’s a snap! You can build your DLL into an ESPRIT add-in in
no time. |
