CAD software package IntelliMAX

CAD/CAMCAMpost-processing

Overview The OMAX IntelliMAX software package, running on Windows 10, integrates CAD/CAM and machine control for abrasive waterjet cutting. It converts designs and imported part files into optimized machining programs, applying cutting models and automatic path optimizations to improve accuracy and throughput.

Key features

• LAYOUT — Integrated CAD for creating toolpaths specific to abrasive waterjet systems, with basic CAD commands and waterjet features such as cut quality settings, path types, and gear/rack generation.
• MAKE — Dedicated machine control for OMAX/MAXIEM waterjet systems that issues precise motor commands, manages high-pressure water and abrasive flow, applies internal cutting models and compensations (speed, acceleration, taper), and performs automatic corner and piercing optimizations.
• IntelliCAM — Advanced CAM generating 2D and 3D toolpaths from 3D models; imports CATIA, SolidWorks, DXF/DWG and other formats, creates 2D profiles from faces or sections, and generates 3D paths with AutoPath before exporting to IntelliMAX MAKE.
• File format compatibility — Broad import support from standard 2D DXF to complex 3D formats from major CAD/CAM systems; consult documentation for the complete compatibility list.

Additional details IntelliMAX prepares imported designs for machining by applying advanced cutting optimizations and managing attributes required for 3D waterjet cutting. The workflow moves projects from design to machine-ready code efficiently while preserving geometry and improving cut consistency.
