RoboDK has introduced RoboDK CAM, a standalone CAM solution aimed at simplifying robotic machining workflows. The software targets a key challenge in automation: the complexity of programming industrial robots. It automatically generates robot programs from CAD models and simulated toolpaths, reducing the need for manual coding and simplifying the transition from design to production.
The platform supports multiple machining operations, including milling, drilling, cutting, deburring, polishing, and additive manufacturing. Users can generate toolpaths, simulate full machining processes, and detect collisions within a single environment before deploying to physical systems. Both 3-axis and 5-axis workflows are supported.
A key benefit is reduced deployment time. Instead of spending extended periods programming and testing robotic cells, setups can be validated in a virtual environment much faster. Early reports suggest testing time reductions of up to 40%, depending on the application.
RoboDK CAM is available as a standalone solution or integrated with platforms such as Fusion 360, SolidWorks, and Mastercam, allowing users to extend existing workflows to industrial robots.
