Description

CAD6industrie is an all-in-one CAD/CAM solution designed for industrial users requiring advanced 2D and 3D capabilities. It extends the features of CAD6studio and SMART2D Technology by adding a powerful CAM plug-in and a universal, script-driven post-processor for flexible CNC data creation. The software supports a broad range of machining operations including milling, drilling, turning, and cutting with water jets or lasers, alongside plotting and precise positioning. It offers specialized commands such as milling cutter compensation, pocket milling, milling sequence control, and milling time estimation to optimize production. Users can preview their designs in 3D and customize extensive tool and machine parameters to control CNC outputs precisely. Symbol-based commands enable the generation of custom cycles and sub-programs tailored to specific machines. CAD6industrie guarantees smooth interoperability with the entire CAD6 product line thanks to complete data compatibility. This solution empowers industrial operators to produce accurate, ready-to-machine drawings efficiently.
