Lantek Flex3D Tubes

CAD/CAM software system for designing, nesting and cutting parts of tubes and pipes.

Lantek Flex3D Tubes

Lantek Flex3D Tubes is a CAD/CAM software system for designing, nesting and cutting parts of tubes and pipes.

Lantek has used all of its experience and proficiency gained in design systems and programming for sheet metal cutting, punching and bending machines and applied it to the tube cutting sector – regardless of the type of machine.

Easy, Flexible Design

Lantek Flex3D Tubes integrates with various kinds of tubular geometry importers such as SAT and IGES. This software allows 3D design to be simple and intuitive. It gives a true vision of the resulting design profile that will eventually be cut on a machine.

This system is a parametric system which allows the user to change the values of any operations previously made, including changes to the initial parameters of each tube (lengthening, shortening, change of diameter).

Once the design stage is complete, the user can simulate optimization of the tube (nesting) and the path followed by the cutting head. The software will directly generate the NC program in order to send this optimization to the machine.

Flexible Part Creation

Imports all major native CAD files for parts and assembly processing
A parametric shape library helps designers create tube and pipe parts instantly
Advanced profile and feature recognition gives users more flexibility to design parts in a wide variety of formats and methods

Fully 3D Environment

3D view lets users visualize the movement of machine head and nested parts including rapids
Powerful editing controls can correct collision alerts and customize cutting orientation
Flexibility to program single parts, assemblies, and even modify individual toolpath elements on the nest level

SigmaTUBE SW

Complete Tube and Pipe Nesting within SOLIDWORKS

Easy, Intelligent, Versatile

With the ability to break down an entire tube assembly, SigmaTUBE SW can separate parts by nesting tasks, nest each part for optimum yield, and apply advanced toolpath techniques all in a matter of seconds. SigmaTUBE software supports laser and plasma cutting for tubes of any shape along with all common structural profiles.

SigmaTUBE SW can transform your fabrication process

Feature Recognition for Assembly Importing and Work Orders

SigmaTUBE SW automatically examines the entire assembly to identify which parts are applicable for programming. Parts are then automatically grouped according to their profile and material. Quoting the complete part assembly is made easy by integrating SigmaQUOTE to provide support for costing and scheduling work orders.
