Rod Jones’ CNC Software Solutions will be returning to W14 for the second time in 2014 with great production solutions for both large and small businesses. With well over 250 installations of the Genio CNC CAD/CAM software, the firm’s reputation continues to grow.
“We are very happy with how the business has developed,” explains Rod. “In particular the last 18 months have seen us install many of the XDoor, XCab and Genio packages into firms who are investing again now that they can see the economy improving.”
The company’s three software packages are particularly well priced for a flexible software solution, and this, coupled with excellent on-site training and on-going support, makes CNC Software Solutions’ offer very attractive to a growing number of clients.
The W14 show will see the launch of Genio Version 6 which includes the latest 2015 AutoCad, along with a new 3D machine simulator so that the operator can view the machining in 3D, along with new 3D grayscale import for converting bitmaps and jpegs into 3D images.
Genio is a CAD/CAM software using AutoCad for its drawing base and is able to output machinery code to a range of CNC machines.
Options include automatic nesting, surface machining in three and five axis. The package is available as a single seat or a network version.
XCab is a parametric cabinet machine software, no drawing to be done. Start with the included cabinet library or use the template generator to design something different, output parts individually or nest them.
XDoor is also a parametric non-drawing program for house doors and frames. Ideal for the composite door industry, all the usual fittings apertures, locks, tools, hinges and sizing are already included along with the ability to add anything extra that is required.
Ottimo is a cutting optimisation software for angular and single beam saws. Ottimo has full functionality to import or export jobs from and to MS Excel files and also includes a full material library with off-cuts, edge library and multi-job programming and is said to be a great and inexpensive package.
All of these software packages are up and running in the UK to great effect. A number of operators that have been trained and supported by Rod Jones were complete novices – but with on-site training and on-going support have now become highly competent with the world of CNC programming.
CNC Software Solutions also has Archimede as part of its offer – this is a design, production and commercial software. This program gives users the capability to manage production through a single software package.
Right from the first thought about the design of the window or door, it’s easy to export windows and glass in DXF format, to generate 3D views and to get detailed and customisable prints about a given project.
Archimede can then manage the CNC centres, production lines and other cutting machines using the powerful CAM within the software.
If however, the user is without CNC capability and the requirements are purely design, presentation and quoting, then it is simple to just utilise that part of this flexible and capable software package.
Archimede is being sold and supported exclusively in the UK through CNC Software Solutions.
