CAD/CAM and 4.0/5.0 software

Computes Group, a full-range partner

Computes Group was founded 40 years ago and has been at the forefront of sheet metal cutting software development ever since. This has been accompanied by a varied offer of commercial products, of which it can also offer customised versions. In Italy alone, some 2,300 companies are followed by Computes at various levels.

 

Technical Data

Factory owners are increasingly faced with problems such as:

  • increasingly smaller batches
  • variability in material characteristics
  • shortage of experienced bending operators.

Bending software is an indispensable aid for optimising the company’s resources. With a bending CAM tool you will be able to simulate bending programmes from the office, avoiding laborious and inaccurate developments on paper. You will be able to determine the correct tooling and the best specific bending sequence, without wasting material. The most suitable bending programme can be easily sent to the operator, so you won’t keep an expensive machine idle by wasting time creating programming on the machine.

From 2D and 3D CAD drawing, quotation, CAM and offline software for nesting and bending, to ERP and MES tools for 4.0/5.0 and Smart Factory applications. With Promecam and Computes your machines will be supported by customised, flexible and powerful software tools.

ZWCAD

ZWCAD is a reliable and international 2D CAD software, compatible with the DWG file format. With ZWCAD, you can create and edit 2D objects, dimension, print and share files. ZWCAD has been tested by more than 900,000 users in 90 countries, and features libraries of content and tools for professional 2D architectural and sheet metal drawings.

ZW3D Standard for sheet metal design

ZW3D Standard is an affordable and intuitive integrated CAD3D/CAE solution designed to optimise productivity, reduce costs and simplify the transition to a new CAD system. With hybrid solid-surface modelling, structural simulation and specialised tools for sheet metal working and more, ZW3D offers a wide range of tools to meet the most complex design requirements.

This parametric 3D CAD software is enhanced by a series of MACRO commands developed by Computes Group’s expertise, which further reduce 2D modelling and development time, particularly useful when modelling sheet metal parts. Although ZW3D is a benchmark in the market, its cost and maintenance fees are extremely advantageous, making it an affordable choice for companies of all sizes.

Sphera

It is a robust and versatile nesting software for laser, plasma and waterjet cutting. It features a postprocessor for Promecam machines and almost all other machines on the market. Available in three different configurations for every need and budget:

  • Sphera Lite: for those who have more basic needs but still do not want to give up powerful software.
  • Sphera: one of the top players in the 2D cutting sector, able to meet the needs of most customers.
  • Sphera + Best Nest: ideal for those who process a large quantity of parts or cut valuable materials and need the best cutting quality.

ZW3D with milling CAM module

ZW3D, with the Milling CAM module, is an integrated and intuitive solution designed to improve productivity, reduce costs and ease the transition to a new CAD system. This version includes a wide range of functionality, including hybrid solid-surface modelling, structural simulation, 2-5 axis machining, mould and die modelling and more.

Although ZW3D is recognised as a market leader, the cost of the software and maintenance fee remain extremely attractive, offering an affordable opportunity for companies of all sizes.

AXI-Punch

AXI-PUNCH is an advanced CAM system for all cutting and punching machine technologies. It allows the programming of machines from different manufacturers, enabling unrestricted automatic processing of a drawing made with integrated CAD or DXF.

Computes Tube

Computes Tube is an integrated CAD/CAM system for production optimisation. It manages all the technological processes of sheet metal working and mechanical welding, from traditional machines to the most complex systems. Suitable for 2D cutting, punching, 3D cutting/tubing, robotic welding and nesting.

Autopol

Autopol is probably the most advanced and flexible solution in the panorama of bending offliner software. STEP, the main CNC used by Promecam, is perfectly managed, along with Delem, Esa, Cybelec, and the vast majority of proprietary CNCs.

Computes MES

Computes MES is a cloud-based ERP system for production management 4.0/5.0. It offers functionalities such as production and warehouse data collection, job control, and balance sheet generation.
Computes MES is an ideal solution for SMEs. It offers excellent value for money, coupled with fast start-up by the end user. The main functionalities are:

  • order management, bill of materials, production stages;
  • data collection in manual or automatic mode;
  • statistics on orders, machines, departments and operators.

FACTORY

The ‘FACTORY’ MES software is a production management system. It controls machines, people and costs, improving plant efficiency. It is suitable for all manufacturing companies and all types of production. It offers functionalities such as automated data collection and production planning.

PRODUCTION MANAGER

The “Production Manager” MES software from Computes Group is an ERP system for cutting and bending in an Industry 4.0/5.0 perspective. This web-based software offers a complete solution for production management using cloud technologies. It offers functionalities such as automated data collection, production planning and job control.

5.0 interface with the WATT system

The MES and ERPs offered by Computes can be linked to our WATT platform to automatically collect

  • production times
  • unplanned interruptions
  • processing consumption
  • energy inefficiencies

The WATT platform is however compatible with all other MES and ERPs, and via the WATT dashboard can also be used independently.
