Alphacam is a Computer Aid Machining (CAM) program designed to work with sophisticated 5 axis machines. Alphacam seamlessly integrates both 2D and multi-axis machining within its machining environment to any type of component. The emphasis behind Alphacam is to provide customers with productivity, reliability and flexibility.

Key feature of the software:

– Working on solid and surface geometry

– Intelligent nesting

– SWARF cutting for machining of variable taper walls

– 5-Axis finishing across multiple surfaces with control over lead/lag and side tilt angles

– 5-Axis profile machining for slotting, de-flashing and trimming of sheet forms

– 3D engraving

– Full support for all common tool profiles, including lollipop cutters

– Easy-to-use machining strategies are geared to maximize productivity and quality

Fusion 360 is a cloud-based Computer Aid Design (CAM) / Computer Aid Machining (CAM) tool for collaborative product development. It’s the most advanced CAD/CAM package we can offer, yet it’s still one of the cheapest (in some cases even free). Like its older brother – Inventor, it’s extremely powerful in terms of 3D design. Not only it can create single component but whole assembled products as well.

It allows you to generate technical drawing, simulations with rendering and even simple stress analyse.

One of its biggest assets is its impressive CAM module with variety of strategies for 2D and 3D machining – 28 in total.

V11 is a powerful RIP solution for printers of all sizes using digital ink-jet. Whether you’re using wide-format for specialist production or high volume, Caldera V11 will make your operations more cost effective, whatever your hardware configuration.

Key Features

• V11 draws maximum power from your computer hardware by using the OpenCL language, enabling it to exchange print data with system elements more efficiently

• Parallel Processing reduces RIP times through intelligent CPU and GPU use

• V11’s algorithms make the most of this capacity, increasing throughput to take advantage of print clusters, high-speed digital presses and industrial production

• V11 Trim-O-Matik Combine takes the trouble out of finishing by combining trimmer marks with cut or crop marks, annotations and codes within the RIP, keeping you organized to save time at the end of your production process.

• V11 harnesses the full power APPE 4 to create even smoother shades and smoother gradients than previous versions, plus extended spot colour handling

• Superb colour correction in V11 now includes primary colours and allows for last-minute modifications in RGB and process ink modes

• Using APPE, V11 expands the number of spot colour channels from 21 to an 127 spot colours in PDFs

• With Print&Import, print targets for complex media and import measurements to build accurate profiles for improved handling of metals, carpets, furs and other non-standard substrates

ONYX RIPCenter™ software provides the control and simplicity needed to get started in wide format print production and achieve consistent high quality output at an affordable price. The versatile tools in ONYX RIPCenter software make it easy to prepare jobs and create sellable prints faster.

Key features

• A fully integrated print & cut workflow, supports hundreds of devices and combinations for your unique applications
  • Preview cut paths, before submitting images to production, to enhance confidence in final output
• View active, upcoming and previously printed files within a single job queue
  • Eliminate the additional printing step and import jobs directly into the CUT-Server module with cut-only workflow
• View active, upcoming and previously printed files within a single job queue
• Automate repetitive tasks with tools for print-only or print & cut applications
  • Easy-to-use calibration tools to maintain consistent print quality
• Multi-page splitting and processing of PDFs

Vectric is a Computer Aid Design (CAD) and Computer Aid Machining (CAM) program designed to work with routers. Narrowing its scope helped in creation of easy to use and learn, yet powerful enough to utilize all 3 axis router has to offer.

Self-explaining icons combined with fully described option for each tool and massive internet community sharing projects, tutorials and tips made it one of the best, if not the best, CAD/CAM programs for work with routers.

Starting from only £ XXX (Cut2D), it’s best value for money when it comes to CAD/CAM packages.

POLYBOARD PRO PP

Fully parametric cabinet and furniture design software with sheet material and hardware libraries as well as manufacturing methods.

Enter dimensions to standard options and the software builds everything for you, adds hardware details automatically and outputs high quality cutting maps through our nesting optimisation software, toolpathed automatically and NC files sent direct to the machine for processing. The software automatically creates exploded engineered drawings on the fly as well as giving detailed cutting lists with hardware costings and 3D renders for client approval.

STAIRDESIGNER

Similar to Polyboard,  Stairdesigner is fully parametric, enter the finsihed floor height add lower and upper winders if desired and ths software does the rest. Outputs high quality cutting maps for tread, risers and stringers as well high quality 3D renders for client approval. Straight, landings, winders and spirals all in a few clicks.

OPTINEST

Intelligent trueshape nesting software takes your cutting maps to the next level. Save material waste with high quality nesting in to sheet and stock materials selected from your material  library.
Updates stock levels and costs as well as allowing offcuts to be saved back in for future nesting. Compatible with our pre-bar code labeling machines and output ready for drilling and PTP machines.
