SAT Advanced (3D) Importer for Lantek Flex3D
In the world of 3D modeling and machining preparation, accuracy is key. The SAT (ACIS) format is one of the most widely used standards in CAD systems such as AutoCAD, Inventor, BricsCAD, IronCAD, and many others.
To make the transfer of this data to the machining environment as simple and accurate as possible, Lantek offers the SAT Advanced Importer module for Lantek Flex3D Tubes and Tubes Plus.
What does SAT Advanced Importer enable?
With this module, users can directly import 3D models from various CAD systems while maintaining high accuracy of geometry and parametric data. This means less manual work, faster preparation, and greater reliability in further processing.
Key advantages
ACIS format support: Enables accurate import of *.SAT files of tubes, profiles, and complex shapes with higher precision than STEP or IGES formats.
Advanced geometry recognition: The system automatically recognizes elements such as holes, cutouts, grooves, and chamfers and converts them into corresponding CAM operations—even for complex shapes.
Parametric adjustment: Imported models remain flexible. The user can still change lengths, angles, diameters, and hole positions.
Advantages in practice
The result is a faster and more reliable transition from CAD to CAM. The need for manual corrections is reduced, while the accuracy and efficiency of pipe and profile machining is increased.
For companies seeking the optimal link between design and production, SAT Advanced Importer is an extremely useful tool that saves time and reduces the possibility of errors.
