: radm-ax
multi-axis laser technology for 3D sheet
metal components
Radan’s Radm-ax is an industry leading 5 axis
Laser CAD/CAM system developed specifically
for the general engineering, automotive and
aerospace industries. Radm-ax offers an
intuitive environment for the comprehensive
programming of multi-axis laser or water-jet

Machine and database
Radm-ax contains a comprehensive
database of laser and water-jet
machines from a large number
of Machine Tool manufacturers;
including NTC, Prima, Trumpf and
Amada. Should a machine not be
supported, Radm-ax also contains a
Machine Setup utility that allows the
configuration of bespoke machine
types and postprocessing information.

Features include
Intuitive graphical user interface
Extensive range of CAD interfaces
for both import and export
Comprehensive machine and
postprocessor database
Automated fixture design
One-click application of toolpath
for inner and outer profiles
Manual application of toolpath
for selected areas
Edit cut technology and nozzle
setting at unlimited positions

cutting machines.
Extensive range of CAD interfaces
Radm-ax comes with an extensive
range of integrated CAD data
translators that allow the direct import
of CAD drawings in their native form or
as industry standards, such as IGES,
STEP and DXF. The standard system
configuration comes with interfaces
for DXF, AutoCAD DWG, AutoCADInventor, VISI, SolidWorks, Solid
Edge, IronCad and IGES. Optional
CATIA V4, CATIA V5, Unigraphics, Pro
Engineer, VDA and STEP translators
are available. Radm-ax can display the
CAD data as simple wireframe, solids
and surfaces or a combination of both;
which are used as the source for all
cut-path programming and process
simulation.

The advanced postprocessors aren’t
just limited to the use of generic G and
M codes; posts are easily configured to
suit different head configurations and
table sizes.
Automated fixture design
Stamped forms typically need to
be held using fixtures and within
Radm-ax this can be done in a number
of ways. One way is to import clamps
and fixtures from external files and
then manually reposition them. Another
way is to use the Fixture Design utility
to create the support fixtures using
sheet metal. Simply define the number
of horizontal and vertical support
sheets, how they interlock - including
locking features if you require them and how they run-off the part. Once
these details have been defined,
Radm-ax creates each sheet, nests
them on standard sheet metal sizes,
adds assembly notes such as number
references and creates the NC code
with which to manufacture them.
