The advantages of Metalix Software

The Metalix CAD/CAM Software System, known as cncKad, provides solutions for those unch,
!aser, and Com"ination Machines# cncKad is inte$rated with solid modellers, such as
Solid%orks, Solid&d$e, Autodesk, 'nventor, ro/&()'(&&*, and +ertex ),# There is no
re-uirement for any intermediate files, like D./, in order to transfer pro0ects in order to cncKad#
)eometry, Dimensions, and Technolo$y 1includin$ unchin$ and Cuttin$2 are totally associative
in cncKad# %hen the )eometry is modified, Dimensions and Technolo$ies are automatically
updated# cncKad features 3D and 4D desi$n, Automatic (estin$, (5*T6 CA*5!'(A
)eneration, )raphic Simulation, and Machine Communication#
cncKad can read D%) documents directly from AutoCAD, ')&S, CAD!, D./, and other
formats# Sheet Steel oriented commands make creatin$ $eometry in cncKad extremely easy# 't
is easy to validate the $eometry with features that are easy to use# These features include
Correction, Analysis, and Modification#
There is a wide selection of processin$ features# Manual tools $ive full control over production#
&fficient automated tools save effort and time# 5ther tool selections include Auto unch, Auto
Cut, Common Cuts with re$ard to unch, !aser Common Cuts, Automatic *eposition, and
Automatic Clamp Avoidance# These are a few examples of the numerous tools availa"le
throu$h cncKad#
The rocessin$ module is an automatic as well as interactive tool that supplies $raphical
processin$ for unch, !aser, lasma, Drinkin$ water 7et, and /lame technolo$ies# 't can
process usin$ automatic reposition, clamp8avoidance, lines, trimmin$, support for %ilson %heel
family, minimi9in$ tool rotation, and comprehensive are reports#
rocessin$ the part is simple, and next users are a"le to create a Multi8art Sheet with ease "y
resi9in$ the sheet as well as $eneratin$ (C# Macros are created automatically, unless users
desire a len$thier and "etter optimi9ed (C code#
The Draftin$ module is powerful and simple to use# 't offers a full set of draftin$ tools and
special linen metal draftin$ aids# The aids include notchin$, chamferin$, filletin$, automatic
reco$nition and correction of unclosed contours, shape reco$nition, $eometry validation, and
makin$ use of true8type fonts#
)raphic simulation of (C pro$ram ena"les easy editin$ whenever viewin$ the processed sheet#
cncKad should automatically "e checked for mistakes durin$ simulation# &rrors could include
missin$ parameters, clamp errors, over8travel mistakes, and more# The (C to D/T option allows
users to transfer le$acy (C pro$rams into simulation#
To $enerate a nested sheet alon$ with assorted parts, users can choose "etween Manual
(estin$ and an automatic Auto(est Module# This is capa"le of creatin$ )roup Arrays with
Macros# rior to machinin$, users can $enerate 7o" *eports in %ord format that are fully
customi9a"le to match the needs of the user#
There are a few key advanta$es of usin$ cncKad Metalix software# 't is an advanced CAD/CAM
solution for that Sheet Metal manufacturer# cncKad supports the entire desi$n to production
period# 7o"s can "e ported to different machines or technolo$y in the "est way possi"le with a
few easy mouse clicks#
cncKad offers a num"er of unch, !aser, lasma, and /lame machines support with their
software# The Auto (est tool $ives optimal material utili9ation to supply the "est fit in nestin$
solutions# The advanced technolo$y of cncKad com"ines with draftin$ and processin$ within the
same module# cncKad creates efficient C(C pro$rams with precision and relieve#
The software allows users to import and export standard file platforms# A few examples include
D./, ')&S, CAD!, and D%)# There is really a lar$e ran$e of machines that are supported,
makin$ it useful for any kind of Sheet Metal manufacturer#
