CAD/CAM for 3D cutting
Programming software for 5-axis cutting machines
and cutting robots
Through a simple and intuitive user interface, act/cut 3d is dedicated to the programming of any type of
3D-cutting machines regardless the number of axes or the cutting technique used (laser, plasma, waterjet,
or routing). Providing support for advanced manufacturing functions, act/cut 3d can meet any kind of
requirements, including high-level manufacturing requirements for the cutting of complex parts.
Based on an accurate 3D representation of the
machine (including kinematics or axis limit elements)
and its environment, act/cut 3d, thanks to automatic
geometry analysis functions, can automatically define
the cutting contours for CAD-imported parts. Using
a powerful algorithm that optimizes the paths while
avoiding collisions, act/cut 3d generates the tool
head trajectories. It also allows you to automatically
model the tooling from the 3D model of the part
to cut. With act/cut 3d, you will easily create and
validate NC programs thanks to realistic simulation
and automatic control functions combined with
display features for visualizing anomalies.
act/cut 3d is an autonomous programming software
that can interact with machines and robots of
any trademark and be used with complementary
software products of act/ range. For the cutting of
flat metal sheets by 5-axis machines, 2D programming
modules are provided with act/cut 3d. For the
cutting of tubes, act/tubes is available as an optional
component and provides the required specific
functions (modeling, nesting and programming).

Advantages and benefits
• Comprehensive modeling of the machine and its
environment.
• Reduction of programming cycle thanks to powerful
functions automating the creation of cutting
trajectories, the definition of lead-ins/lead-outs and
the sequencing of cutting profiles.
• Reduction of cycle times.
• Automatic search for collision-free trajectories.
• Realistic simulation of the cutting sequence and
visualization of possible anomalies.
• Management of cutting parameters in database
material/thickness.
• Easy-to-learn and use: simplified control panel,
easy object handling, clear and simple display of
cell objects, cutting profiles, and programs using
tree-views.
• Extension to other technological processes such as
laser welding and polishing.
