20 February, 2023Sheet metal Industry leader Lantek showcased its latest CAD/CAM and MES/ERP solutions for the sheet metal industry at 3DEXPERIENCE World 2023, February 12-15, 2023, at the Music City Center in Nashville, Tennessee.
3DEXPERIENCE World 2023 is hosted by Dassault Systemes, developers of the SOLIDWORKS® CAD software ecosystem and the 3DEXPERIENCE Works portfolio. As a SOLIDWORKS partner and Bronze Sponsor of the event, Lantek, the global leader in sheet metal manufacturing solutions, will demonstrate the newest features of its proven Global Release 2022 CAD/CAM, MES and ERP sheet metal software solutions.
The Lantek Expert CAD/CAM nesting software has been improved to allow access from different areas of the system. A redesigned module allows automatic tagging technology to be applied, providing improved configuration options to adapt to any part geometry or cutting quality, avoiding the possibility of imperfections in the part.
The new version also facilitates the native interpretation of bending line technology from the import stage, as well as the automatic import of nests created by external systems including the automatic detection of repeated parts. Additionally, new options have been added for semi-automatic generation and modification of scraps.
Lantek Flex3d has been updated to work seamlessly with new machines, devices and technologies used to cut structural tubes and profiles. The new machine configuration module has been completely redesigned for faster system start-up on any type of machine. Further, its innovative process automation module allows users to easily create unattended or guided workflows, using the entire Flex3d architecture as a big "black box", with countless possibilities.
Lantek MES and Lantek Integra handle workshop management by accurately tracking resource loading, orders, delivery dates, quality and stock levels. Its ability to maintain traceability and flexibility to react to changing circumstances is possible by improved capabilities in recording data related to downtime and reasons for part scrap during production. Operators are now able to record changes made to the sheet format used during nest creation, further maintaining traceability for any change within the software system.
“Lantek sheet metal solutions facilitate the transfer of CAD drawings from systems such as SOLIDWORKS, allowing operators to seamlessly work within a 3D environment without having to take valuable time to create extra files and applications,” said Anupam Chakraborty, Commercial Director, Lantek Systems, Inc. “We’ve integrated more than 80 improvements to Global Release 2022, all of which are designed to increase efficiency and connectivity among systems and machines to optimize sheet metal operations. The ability to digitalize processes from start to finish is something we’ve continued to refine for more than 36 years. We’re excited to share our expertise in at the show.”
