Windows-based program.

Windows driver
The Windows versions of MODELA Player, MODELA 3D
DESIGN, and MODELA 3D TEXT cannot be set up separately.
MODELA programs
For the Mac OS version, there is only MODELA Player.
This sets the required parameters for cutting solid objects and
sends the cutting data to MDX-20/15.
Windows
This can import not only solid objects created with 3D problems
MODELA Player

from Roland DG, but also solid objects created using other
commercially available 3D programs via DXF or STL.
This lets you choose a basic shape such as a cylinder or sphere,

and modify it to create a 3D object.
You can intuitively create solid objects with smooth curves.
You can use MDX-20/15 to cut solid objects and save data in
Windows
MODELA 3D DESIGN
3D DXF files.
This adds thickness to text to create 3D characters. It's also
possible to edit text to make it bold, italic, or the like. You can
put a box around text with just a single click - a handy feature
when making nameplates.
You can use MDX-20/15 to cut 3D text and save data in 3D
Windows
MODELA 3D TEXT
DXF files.
This simulates tool movement before performing cutting with

MDX-20/15.
You can use it to check the finished shape as well as things like
whether the cutting depth is suitable and how much time cutting
will take. This can reduce loss for cutting materials and time.
Windows
This is used to design plates and send the engraving data to MDX20/15.
You can make large numbers of plates with the same design
with high efficiency. You can use the TrueType fonts registered
in Windows as the font style for text. You can even make stroke
fonts from TrueType fonts.
Because you can the outline of an image and convert it to line
segments, it's also possible to include logos for companies or
organizations in the plates you make.

centers of the four holes as
shown in the figure is the
suggested maximum cutting

Setting up for Modeling

Set the Z Origin Point
Perform Surfacing
Surfacing is used to eliminate unevenness in the surface of the workpiece.
When performing surfacing, set the depth-direction reference point to the highest location on the workpiece.
At the MODELA Player [Options] menu, click [Layout ...].
The slanted-line area is the surfacing range.
Enter the surfacing depth.

This sets the depth from the depth reference
point.
To change the surfacing range, deselect this.

You can change the size by dragging the solid
squares around the slanted-line area. You can
also change the size by entering values in the
[Width] and [Length] text boxes.
Click [Start] to begin surfacing. When surfacing finishes, the plane that has been surfaced
is set to the depth-direction reference point.
When surfacing ends, click [OK].
