Metalix CAD / CAM Ltd . offers CNC software such as cncKad , AutoNest and MBend . cncKad and AutoNest include a job estimation
MTube software from Metalix . module ; support for 3D tube parts ; smart common cuts for rectangular nesting ; multiple cut sheets ; suction force calculations for pickup and AutoCAD 2018 DXF support . Its MTube software provides new support forTtube Bevel , and enhanced support for Tube commands – tube assemblies ( construction ), connections , intersections , bend cuts etc .
“ AutoNest lets you easily nest your tubes . Tubes can be imported directly from cncKad , from MTube or from CAD programs ( such as SOLIDWORKS , Solid Edge , PTC Creo and Autodesk Inventor ) via CAD Link . They can be batch processed via the Daily Job and automatically nested with AutoNest Pro . The automatic process identifies the different tube part profiles , material and thickness , and nests them accordingly , rotating and flipping tube parts for the best and most efficient solutions . You generate NC for tube nests and preview them on tube nesting reports ,” explained the manufacturer .
