Products | Lantek Flex3d | Lantek Flex3d Inventor ®

Technical characteristics

• Unfolding directly into the Lantek Expert Database without the need for export and import using an intermediate file format such as IGES or DXF.
• Allows for various parts to be unfolded individually or as part of a whole.
• Permits work with assemblies, and their subsequent automatic unfolding. The unit of parts that may be designed with Autodesk Inventor® can be made up of parts of different materials (aluminium, sheet metal, plastic, galvanised metal, steel, etc.) and different thicknesses. Flex3d Inventor recognises the parts which use sheet metal and unfolds them automatically with the assigned thickness.
• The system highlights for the user the bend line, and the limit of the bends. This information together with the geometry of the part is made available for further downstream applications. The bend line information can be added as non-cut technology for powder marking or etching.
• Parametric system. Limiting of each one of the parameters used to create the sheet and subsequently modify it, with no need for making the part again.
• Associativity between the 3D and 2D parts. Any modification made to the 3D file is immediately visible in the 2D model.
• Autodesk Inventor® provides translators for exporting and importing files from practically all the mechanical CAD systems on the market. The part and flat pattern development created can also be exported in different formats.

Integration with Lantek Expert

Lantek Expert Punch

This is a CAD / CAM software program specially designed to automate the programming of punching machines.

 

 

 

 

All in one system

All the Lantek Expert options are included in one single program. The design, import and execution of the nesting (automatic or manual), the generation of the cutting (automatic or manual) and the CNC, the sheet metal database, etc. are all carried out from the same program without needing to exit from it.

Technical characteristics of Lantek Expert Cut and Punch:

• Manual and automatic nesting with great flexibility and maximum performance.
• Production management. Lantek Expert is designed for connection to an ERP.
• Available for operation in autonomous mode or installed in a local network.
• Part, material, and manufacturing technology database.
• 2D and 3D design.
• Intelligent importer / exporter.
• Parametric parts library.
• Calculation of real times and costs.
• Optional modules: Duct design and development, press brake simulation, and shearing.
