SigmaTEK Releases SigmaTUBE X1.1

SigmaTEK has released SigmaTUBE X1.1, which offers new features such as new partial common line nesting, new supported shapes, IFC file import, a new help center and more.

For customers with the Advanced NC module, SigmaTUBE now supports partial common-line geometries which includes both 4-axis and 5-axis toolpaths. There are also three new tube shapes that are supported with the new SigmaTUBE X1.1: triangle shape, C-shape and D-shape tubes. SigmaTUBE users can now also import .ifc files from third-party structural modeling programs.

SigmaTUBE X1.1 features a new tangency tolerance configuration option. SigmaTUBE users can use the tangency tolerance option to auto generate toolpath parts with variable flange thickness. This allows users to generate toolpath for angle and channel parts that do not have uniform thickness.

A new constant chuck tessellation configuration option has also been added to the new SigmaTUBE X1.1. A constant chuck tessellation can now be specified for straight profile cuts on round tubing. This allows a user to perform a 360° rotation using set angle rotations instead of relying on the full tessellated toolpath and decreases the number of lines output in the NC for these cuts.

The new SigmaTUBE Help Center is the hub for all SigmaTUBE information. Here, a user can view tutorials, help pages, videos and more. Legacy content has been updated and rewritten to follow the SigmaTUBE workflow, making it easier for users to find what they are looking for.
