Key Features​​​​

Integrated time and cost calculation


Estimate machine time, labor, material consumption, and consumables for each job. Generate detailed reports to support quoting, cost control, and production planning in sheet metal manufacturing.

Centralized CAD/CAM job management


Create and manage production orders, import CAD files, group parts into nestings, and generate CNC programs in a single system. Maintain full visibility of jobs, machine status, and material usage in real time.

Full connectivity with MES and ERP systems


Connect with MES and ERP platforms through the Lantek API. Exchange production data, work orders, and machine information across the entire manufacturing process, improving coordination between planning and shop floor execution.

Modular architecture for growing operations


Start with basic 2D cutting and expand to a connected environment with MES and ERP integration. The system adapts to new machines, cutting technologies, and production requirements as operations evolve.

Compatibility with standard CAD formats


Supports import and export of formats such as DXF, DWG, and DSTV. Ensures compatibility with external CAD/CAM systems and smooth data exchange throughout the production workflow.

Advanced CAD drawing module


Design and edit 2D geometries with precision. Includes tools for lines, arcs, polygons, and parametric parts. Provides geometry editing functions such as rotation, duplication, and symmetry, along with cutting-specific elements such as micro-joints, lead-ins, lead-outs, loops, bridges, and chamfers.

Remnant management and material reuse


Automatically records unused sheet areas as reusable remnants. Classifies them by material, thickness, and format for future nesting operations. Supports planning their reuse to reduce scrap and control material costs.

Collision avoidance in cutting operations


Controls cutting sequences and toolpaths to reduce the risk of collisions between the cutting head, parts, and processed areas. Helps prevent machine damage, reduce downtime, and avoid rework.

Support for combined laser and punching machines


Designed for hybrid machines. Manages automatic switching between laser and punching heads, including combined cutting strategies and part evacuation. Helps reduce cycle time and improve productivity in sheet metal fabrication.

Technical support


Provides international support backed by extensive experience working with machine manufacturers and industrial companies. Ensures continuity in production and adaptation to different machine configurations and manufacturing requirements.

Frequently asked questions

Here you can find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions.

It is software used to design 2D parts, optimize their layout on sheets through nesting, and generate CNC programs for cutting machines such as laser, plasma, oxy-fuel, and waterjet.

Automatic nesting improves material utilization and reduces waste. Manual nesting allows full control for specific jobs. Semi-automatic modes combine both approaches, adapting to different production needs.

By defining machining rules based on material, thickness, quality, and machine type. The system automatically applies these rules to generate CNC programs quickly and consistently.

Lantek Expert Cut permite programar piezas en segundos, incluso en entornos con múltiples máquinas.

A centralized CAD/CAM platform coordinates multiple machines, assigns programs, and prioritizes jobs. This improves production control and machine utilization.

Evaluate compatibility with cutting technologies, nesting capabilities, cost calculation, CAD format support, and integration with MES and ERP systems.
