RoboDK Launches CAM Solution

RoboDK, a company vested in robot simulation and offline programming (OLP) software, has launched RoboDK CAM, a software solution that reduces deployment times for automated machining cells.

RoboDK CAM automatically generates robot code from CAD designs and digital simulations, reducing the complexity and cost of machining automation deployments, according to the company. This allows manufacturers and integrators to move directly from design to production without having to be experts in robot programming.

RoboDK CAM supports a range of machining operations, including milling, drilling, deburring, cutting, and additive manufacturing. Users can generate advanced toolpaths, simulate full machining processes, detect collisions, and transition from three-axis tasks to five-axis machining within a single, intuitive environment. Additionally, RoboDK CAM allows testing of the setup in a safe, simulated environment in minutes.

The new software is available in two configurations, addressing manufacturing workflows:

● Standalone:RoboDK CAM enables users to manage the robotic machining process—from toolpath generation to robot simulation and code generation—within an integrated interface. Capabilities include advanced surface machining, stock tracking, and full machining simulation.

● Integrated: designed for machining professionals who want to work within established CAD/CAM platforms. RoboDK CAM integrates with all leading systems, enabling users to retain their existing CAM workflow while extending it to industrial robots using RoboDK’s simulation and programming engine.

"RoboDK CAM is a milestone software release that eliminates the complexity associated with programming robots to perform machining tasks,” says Albert Nubiola, CEO, RoboDK.

For manufacturers, RoboDK CAM enables faster automation rollouts, reduced downtime, and quicker iteration on machining processes. For system integrators, the software shortens project timelines and reduces the engineering effort required to deploy robotic machining cells.

“RoboDK CAM makes it easier for manufacturers to adopt robotic machining without overhauling their existing processes,” says Sergei Kanivets, application engineer at RoboDK. “Because it is built on the RoboDK platform, we can deliver a complete CAM solution at a significantly lower cost than traditional alternatives.”

"RoboDK exists to democratize automation for people of all technical skill levels and companies of all sizes," adds Albert Nubiola, RoboDK's CEO. "We plan to keep adding new products and solutions like RoboDK CAM that are designed to make automation easier than ever to deploy -even in advanced manufacturing applications.”
