act/cut 3d is aimed at programming all 3D-cutting installations (industrial laser, water-jet, plasma) whatever the number of axis. Furthermore, act/cut 3d offers another specificity: the professional software can be extended to other technological processes such as laser welding and polishing.
From a true 3D-representation of the machine (kinematics, axis limits...) and its environment,
act/cut 3d allows a very quick definition of cutting contours on CAD-imported parts. In addition, the software enables you to automatically model the tooling based on the 3D model of the part. Then, the software generates the head trajectories using a powerful algorithm that optimizes the paths with collision avoidance. Creating and validating the cutting program is easily carried out thanks to the realistic simulation functions and automatic control functions combined with visual professional displays of anomalies.
act/cut 3d is an autonomous programming software that pilots all machine and industrial robot trademarks. Moreover, for 5-axis machines that may have to cut flat sheets, the 2D programming modules are provided with act/cut 3d. For companies that might have to cut tubes, the optional module act/tubes that includes specific features for tubes cutting (modeling, nesting and programming) can be combined with act/cut 3d.
