Lantek Flex3d is the most flexible 3D CAD/CAM software, totally engineered by Lantek and conceived for automating the CNC programming for 3D machining tubes, pipes, beams, profiles, and sheet metal.

Lantek Flex3d provides the most advanced nesting algorithms and machining strategies (Thinkingmetal Technology) and performs at excellent level with machines of any of the existing technologies: laser, plasma, saw, oxy-fuel or water jet, even combined with complementary tools like drilling, marking, milling, tapping and others.

Lantek Flex3d Steelwork

Lantek Flex3d Steelwork  facilitates the 3D CAD/CAM design and cutting of standard profiles including: I, U, L, H, T, and square or round tubes. The automatic and semi-automatic features of the 3D nesting software maximize the use of materials and optimize the CNC code with collision avoidance technology as well as safe and efficient cutting operations on a wide range of machinery such as: sawing, drilling, punching, tapping, marking, oxy-cut, and plasma equipment.

Lantek Flex3d Tubes

Lantek Flex3d Tubes integrates with various kinds of tubular geometry importers such as SAT and IGES. This software allows 3D design to be simple and intuitive. It gives a true vision of the resulting design profile that will eventually be cut on a machine.

This system is a parametric system which allows the user to change the values of any operations previously made, including changes to the initial parameters of each tube (lengthening, shortening, change of diameter).

Once the design stage is complete, the user can simulate optimization of the tube (nesting) and the path followed by the cutting head. The software will directly generate the NC program in order to send this optimization to the machine.
