Software for punching machines, sheet metal and tube cutting
COMPUTES CAMLAB
Add value to your CNC machine
The CAD/CAM software chosen by Computes Group for managing punching technology and programming machines for laser cutting, plasma, oxyfuel, waterjet, combination machines, and tube cutting.
WHY CHOOSE COMPUTES CAMLAB
The complete, fast, and intuitive software for punching and cutting
Save Time in the Office
A single environment to design, dimension, nest, and prepare cut and punching sequences. The software automatically selects the best tools to perform tasks based on onboard and ground-level storage. Additional precious time can be saved by automatically importing the production list from the company's management system.
Save Time on the Machine
Our punching and cutting software calculatesoptimized cutting paths and sequences for tool operations during punching. This efficiency makes a significant difference directly on the machine.
Suitable for Managing the Entire Machine Fleet
COMPUTES CAMLAB generates CNC files compatible with machines from various manufacturers. Post-processors are available for the most common brands, with the possibility of developing customized processors upon request.
CAD-CAM-ERP Software Integration
Create an efficient system for your company! COMPUTES CAMLAB integrates with ERP systems, CAD, and CAM, streamlining workflow organization.
Special for Punching and Combination Machines
Tool Wear Reduction
Automatic definition of the correct punching step ensures tools work more uniformly, reducing wear.
Management of Complex Tools
The software handles the most advanced tools, ensuring they operate efficiently and last longer.
THE ADVANTAGES OF NESTING FOR CUTTING AND PUNCHING
From Computes Group's expertise, the selection of a punch and cut software designed to tackle the challenges of sheet metal processing.
Integrated 2D CAD
Programming your machine and need to modify a design? No need to open a separate CAD program—keep working directly in COMPUTES CAMLAB. Discover the power of the integrated 2D CAD function!
Manage Each Part Individually
Simplify your work further: COMPUTES CAMLAB software identifies each part in a single file as an individual entity. No more DXF saves for each part; manage them independently within the same drawing.
Smart Storage
Achieve greater efficiency in workflow organization. COMPUTES CAMLAB stores individual parts in a database, not just in folders. You can search by code or type (e.g., sheet thickness) and apply filters based on your needs.
Automatic and Manual Nesting
With our punch and cut software, you can work automatically or manually while ensuring the best results. ● Can choose the cutting and piercing tables, types of attachment, output, possible partial cuts, microjoints, jumpers and cutting directions. ● Pre-defined configurations can be outlined for easier and faster geometry parameters application.
Production Planning
Filter production orders by delivery date. It's simple: start production for the desired part and set its delivery date if needed.
Comprehensive and Intuitive Work Panel
A user-friendly panel allows you to manage punching and cutting technologies, selecting modes, processing types (e.g., notching, nibbling...), compensation sides, and cutting directions. Configure the software to quickly apply parameters to geometries, enabling programming for partial cuts and micro-joints.
Interactive and Automatic Nesting
● Interactive Nesting: Quickly position parts. ● Automatic Nesting: Reduce programming time and material waste.
Optional “Best Nest” Module: Minimize Sheet Waste
Next-generation technology with fast, robust, and innovative mathematical algorithms for nesting which considerably reduce the number of scrap, sheet and NC programs executed on the machine.
Verify Before Production
With automatic realistic simulation of all operations, our CAD/CAM software for punching and cutting allows rapid program verification before encoding NC files for the machine.
Special Features for Sheet Metal Punching
Macro Generation
Create and save macros (e.g., for profile processing) to import into your punching design. This is especially useful for repetitive modifications.
