Lantek 2014 sheet metal software unveiled

The latest 2014 version of Lantek's software portfolio for sheet metal applications includes improvements in 2D and 3D CAM solutions.

The integration of its 2D CAM solution with the Lantek Expert suite, for example, has achieved significant results in terms of user experience and increased productivity, says the company. Lantek's 2D CAM solutions also include improvements in the nesting workspace parts display panel, and the settings for geometry import. Now the system can select automatically the technology required according to the type of contour and show the overlap in punching operations. Lantek also continues to innovate its nesting algorithms for increased productivity. Options added include: defining ranges by thickness, destruction of holes, and improved drilling and overlap technology. Additionally, the company has strengthened its capacity to handle the latest generation of machines, such as fibre lasers and combination machines which include milling capability.
