Never send a program directly to a multi-million dollar CNC machine without validating it virtually first. Running the CNC Simulation Switch to the window.
In the import dialog, assign the part a , Material type , and Thickness . This classification is critical because Lantek uses these attributes to match parts to the correct stock plates later. 2. Geometry Cleaning and Verification
Adjust individual lead-ins (entry/exit points) using the "Lead in" tool, which is crucial for reducing marks on the final part.
Select the specific post-processor file matching your machine controller (e.g., Amada, Trumpf, Bystronic, Mazak, Hypertherm).
The at the bottom displays real-time coordinates, current command prompts, and snap settings.
Once the job is created, you need to populate it with parts to be cut. You have three primary methods for this:
“Better nesting today means more profit tomorrow.”
A lead-in prevents the initial pierce hole from damaging the finished edge of the part. Select the tab. Choose a lead-in type: Linear, Circular, or Conical .
Save the generated text file (often in .NC , .CN , or .GCODE formats).
Select your specific machine profile (e.g., Amada, Trumpf, Bystronic, Mazak).
: Use the Verify -> Open Contours tool to find gaps in your geometry that prevent toolpath generation.

Positioned at the top, these tabs dynamically change based on whether you are in Drawing Mode (CAD) or Nesting Mode (CAM). Section 2: Step 1 – Importing and Preparing Geometry
Lead-ins and Lead-outs: These are the entry and exit points for the torch. Ensure your lead-ins are placed on a straight edge or a corner to prevent "pitting" on the finished part.
