Designfusion, Inc. Alma act/cut

A pioneer in sheet metal cutting optimization with automatic nesting for more than 30 years, Alma is a first-rate CAD/CAM software developer, specializing in sheet metal machining, cutting and robotics, with a strong international presence, subsidiaries and a dedicated distributor’s network. Capable of piloting all technological processes in the sheet metal industry, from mechanical welding to industrial cutting, from standard machines to the most complex installations, act/cut software can adapt to any production configuration and provide immediate benefits. Alma’s solution guarantees you will benefit from the unrivaled know-how of a groundbreaking company, which has developed numerous partnerships with machine or robotic manufacturers, and has always dedicated maximum attention to its clients. Best performance for your continuous cutting machines and punch-presses with the act/cut software suite Developed from Alma’s 30 year experience of cutting and punching CAD/CAM software development, act/cut pilots continuous cutting machines (laser, plasma, oxy-cutting, waterjet, aluminum sheets and wood panel routing) as well as punch-presses and combined machines. act/cut pilots all types of machines, taking into account individual technology specification at every step of programming, from part preparation to the NC code generation, including nesting and tool path definition. act/cut is a real time saver, fully automated whenever possible, yet leaving the final decision to the user, ensuring optimum efficiency in specific situations. act/cut’s unique nesting algorithms, fully adapted to all cutting needs, significantly decrease material use. Open and customizable, act/cut imports part geometries from any CAD software and easily interfaces with Production Management Systems or ERP solutions. Lots of dedicated optional modules interact with act/cut: 3D import and unfolding of sheet metal parts, developed shapes for boiler construction and ventilation, tube cutting, letter and drawing cutting (logos, billboards), 3D import and automated machining allocation on parts for 2.5 axis wood panel routing...
