Lantek Flex3D Tubes Plus – when precision meets automation
The metalworking industry is constantly faced with the challenges of increasing productivity, reducing material waste, and ensuring the highest quality of finished products. This is where Lantek Flex3D Tubes Plus comes into play, an advanced software module of Lantek Flex3D that enables companies to take a significant step forward in the design, nesting, and machining of tubes and profiles.
3D modeling without limitations
One of the system’s greatest advantages is parametric 3D modeling. Users can easily specify the lengths, diameters, and shapes of tubes, without being limited to standard profiles. In addition to round, square, and rectangular shapes, triangular and even completely arbitrary cross-sections projected onto the tube surface are also supported. This means complete flexibility for specific customer requirements.
Advanced operations for demanding projects
Flex3D Tubes Plus enables a wide variety of operations to be performed, from bevel cuts and perforations to sectional cutting. The user-friendly “operation tree” allows easy editing of parameters, adding offsets or micro-joints, which increases accuracy and repeatability.
Material optimization with intelligent nesting
Every centimeter of pipe counts. That’s why the system includes advanced algorithmic nesting, which automatically arranges the pieces to maximize material utilization. In addition, the user can manage pipe scraps and nest different profiles at the same time, further reducing waste and production costs.
From virtual model to machine
Once the design is complete, the system generates NC code tailored to the selected technology, whether it be laser, plasma, or other processing equipment. Before the actual cutting takes place, the operator can check the cutting path in a realistic 3D simulation, stop the process, go back a step, and correct any errors. The result is greater safety, fewer downtimes, and fewer unforeseen costs.
Competitive advantage in production
Lantek Flex3D Tubes Plus combines ease of use, precision, and intelligent automation. For companies that want to reduce material consumption, speed up production preparation, and at the same time increase the quality of their finished products, this software module represents an important competitive advantage.
Flex3D Tubes Plus is therefore not just a software upgrade, but a reliable partner in achieving greater efficiency and productivity in production.
