Software utilities

Composer
Build your project like Lego® blocks.

Put your pieces together like Lego blocks. Generate patterns in ArTube and replicate patterns in Composer, easily defining geometric relationships and repetition rules. You can generate complex objects either through the user-friendly graphical interface or automatically directly from your ERP!
Automator
The easiest and fastest way to generate a part program.

Drag and drop the 3D files into your folders and get the part program automatically. With Automator, programming is no longer a concern. The software does the work autonomously according to your preferences. The best solution to guarantee automation, efficiency, and flexibility!
Plugin
SolidWorksThe power of ArTube available directly from SolidWorks.

ArTube be is integrated with SolidWorks for designing single parts and tubular frames. Call up the calculation libraries of ArTube directly from Solidworks to automatically generate your part program, a great saving of time and energy.
