Robotics Software Seamlessly Integrates With CAD/CAM

Hypertherm Associates, a U.S. based manufacturer of industrial cutting products and software, announces a major version update and new name for its Robotmaster offline programming software for robots: Robotmaster 2023.

Robotmaster 2023 is said to bridge the gap between CAD/CAM and robotics by enabling seamless integration between a user’s chosen CAD/CAM software and Robotmaster. This automatic integration eliminates the need to import and sync data for a 75% reduction in programming time. It also eliminates the programming errors that can happen when using a manual process, according to the company.

In addition, the new Robotmaster version enables for the creation of libraries that provide a more convenient way to store and re-use robotic cell components. Users can easily preview and select components within the library and save modified or proprietary components for later use. This will reportedly reduce the cost of building and editing a cell by approximately 50%.

Software developers have also added several customer-driven improvements. These improvements support the latest CAD formats, and include enhancements to the CAM modules, user interface and user experience to facilitate the creation of trajectories and further improve programming.
