ModusCAM 3D Cad-to-Motion robotic path planning software built directly in SOLIDWORKS. This capability, allows the user to robotic path plan in a user friendly setting, while exporting motion files that are specific to the hardware configuration composed in variety of ways in space, and where path-planning is not always intuitive. Our robotic control software ModusCAM will make it easy for operators to program multi-axis robotics without a controls engineer. The software will be located remotely or right at the work station. Options for motion: 3D sketch path in space, 3D sketch path on given solid, import 2D files projected on surface, 3D surface contours, Subtractive manufacturing and 3D printing with slicing feature. Additional Features of ModusCAM 1. Capability to assign I/O functions at specific points during the path planning process 2. Capability to assign process speeds at specific points during the path planning process 3. Capability to assign tool orientation and direction with respect to a normal to a surface 4. Capability to assign a range of tool orientation angles to be evenly distributed along the deposition surface 5. Capability to assign lead-in and lead-out planes in order to avoid collision and dictate tool approaches. 6. Import of a 2D structure in .dxf format 7. Capability to project a 2D structure on a 3D solid 8. Capability to see and differentiate: a) active paths, b) passive paths, and c) transition lines necessary for path planning. 9. Capability to adjust deposition geometry such as: a) number of layers, b) U, V distances, etc. 10. Export a .posXML file with position data, kinematic data (velocity), and I/O data. 11. Export format can be adjusted (such as G code) as per customer's request. 12. Import of scanned data and producing a rendered image. 13. Import coordinate frame information corresponding to the fixture part inside the machine and relating this to the part coordinate frame in ModusCAM.
