Software for Waterjet Cutting Machine

Flow International Corp. has released an upgrade to its FlowXpert™ software suite. FlowXpert 2015 has new capabilities for 3-D path creation and cutting that allow waterjet users to work more effectively in three dimensions.

The software includes Design powered by Spaceclaim, an integrated 3-D CAD/CAM programming tool with Flow Sequencer. The integration gives flexibility to users and was designed specifically for waterjet cutting, resulting in faster waterjet programming, the company states.

The new software still includes functions familiar to current users, but has a redesigned interface for “intuitive” 3-D and 2-D part programming. Users can now design a part and path it in the same program.

Modifying the geometry of a part is now possible without losing the path, and in most cases the Sequencer integration will automatically update the path to accommodate the changes. In addition, the software now detects model and path errors and suggests fixes.
