Slab image capture.

Acquisition of the slab photo by correcting the lens distortion and rectifying it.

  • Positioning of shapes on the slab facilitated by the captured image.
  • Detection of material imperfections.
  • Distinction of veins to be processed.
  • Geometric qualification of the slab edge.

Design.

Drawing and designing parts.

Definition of shapes to be machined:

  • with 2D CAD tools
  • by importing a DXF/DWG file
  • by importing lists from proprietary format: Excel, CSV, etc.
  • by inserting geometric macros
  • with the automatic acquisition from a photo (using the Photo-Digitizer module)

Vein matching.

Optional module for performing vein matching.

  • Vein matching of the piece to be machined.
  • Visualization of matching through 3D rendered preview of the finished work.

Shape positioning.

Manual positioning of shapes on the slab.

  • Visualization of any collisions between parts via a preview.
  • Free choice of best placement for pieces.
  • Employment of “magnet” function for aligning parts next to each other, in order to reduce the number cuts.
  • Automatic nesting (optional module).

Tool archives.

Specific tool archive management environment.

  • Storage of one’s tools in one or more tables that can be configured as desired.

Supported tools:

  • Disks
  • Mill cutters
  • Waterjet

Additional accessories that can be combined with tools:

  • Tool-holder
  • Carters

Machinings.

Disk, cutter, drill and waterjet machining.

Optimization

  • Placement of shapes on the slab.
  • Optimization of cutting sequence.
  • Removal of overlapping cuts.
  • Reduction of colliding cuts.
  • Recovery of incomplete cuts.
  • Formulation of an optimal cutting sequence at the level of sorting, head rotation and rapid distance traveled.

Functions

  • Supported disk machinings: cut (linear, curved and inclined), notch, rodding, VGroove.
  • Automatic rest machining to complete the cuts using a cut-drill/mill tool or a waterjet tool.
  • Calculation of optimized trajectories for the disk cutting.
  • Management and modification of cuts with disk.
  • Movement of the slab pieces through the vacuum/suction cups manipulator system.

Simulation.

Integrated graphical simulation environment for immediate verification of machining results.

  • Solid simulation with material removal.
  • Collision control.
  • Machine simulation through the virtual representation of the entire machine (optional module).

Report and prints.

Creation and press of reports for cutting projects.

Report
  • Press of statistics and consumption of materials.
  • Employment of reports during the setup phase of the machine.

Post processor.

Integrated module that can speak the same language as the CNC machine.

  • Integrated module for converting toolpaths applied to the part(s) into the specific language of the CNC in use.
  • Employment of a specific post-processor based on the model and brand of the CNC machine in use.

Online guide.

User support throughout the design process and in the machinings phase.

  • Detailed explanation of all definable parameters for each machining, with figurative examples and pictures.
  • Visualization of the guide by clicking on the question mark icon.
