Tube Cutting
Tube Link
The video presents the whole tube cutting process
Tube Link is a CAD Link for tubes. It exports a tube part or a tube assembly to cncKad from CAD software such as Solid Edge®, SOLIDWORKS®, Autodesk® Inventor®, Catia and PTC Creo®
For more precise geometry you can import the outer and inner surfaces.
CAD Link imports tubes to cncKad without flattening (unfolding) them, making the import process faster and less prone to errors. After you export the tube from 3D CAD software to cncKad, you can process the tube, nest it, place common cuts, create NC code, and simulate it in a 3D view.
