SigmaTUBE X1.1 software from SigmaTEK supports partial common-line geometries
- March 16, 2018
- Product Release
- Tube and Pipe Fabrication
SigmaTEK has released SigmaTUBE X1.1. For customers with the Advanced NC module, the software now supports partial common-line geometries, which includes both 4- and 5-axis toolpaths. It also supports three new tube shapes: triangle, C-shape, and D-shape. Users now can import IFC files from third-party structural modeling programs.
The software features a new tangency tolerance configuration option to automatically generate toolpath parts with variable flange thickness. This allows users to generate toolpaths for angle and channel parts that do not have uniform thicknesses.
With the new version, users can specify a constant chuck tessellation for straight profile cuts on round tubing. This lets the user preform a 360-degree rotation using set angle rotations instead of relying on the full tessellated toolpath and decreases the number of lines output in the NC for these cuts.
