cncKad has offered us a friendly and quick way to program like no other software. Many features, very customizable, and very affordable!

Thanks to the Metalix software, we have become considerably freer in the development of components since we are now able to produce even more complex components without problems.

Easy to learn, with many options even above the needs of the majority of users. Does not take up large system resources. Live updating. Low cost nesting compared to Metalix competition.

We have had some different punching machines through the years, with different branches side by side. It is remarkable how easily Metalix switches programming from one to the other.

The user-friendly interface & the CAD-like functions make transitioning from any drafting software to Metalix very easy. With training & guidance from their experienced technician I was surprised how quickly the software was implemented and in use. Fantastic product & great support network; would recommend it to anyone.

The Metalix software has high supportability, high rate of function vs. price, and high sharing and compatibility. Metalix wins advantages over common marketing software that can only apply single function and single support with single software. We also praise the offering perfect training and education from Metalix that can be rated as 5 stars.

I have used various software packages in the past for various laser machines and would say that the software provided by Metalix is comprehensive and very user friendly. The service back-up is also excellent and the adaptability of the software to your needs can be accommodated in most cases – well done Metalix for putting your customer needs to the fore.

The automatic functions of the Metalix software are very sophisticated and facilitate the programming considerably. The quality and speed of our punching work increased at least by a factor of three. Thanks to the Metalix software, we have also become considerably freer in the development of components since we now produce even more complex components.

It’s the only CAD/CAM software which can edit CAD and CAM in one window display.  Easy to learn, easy to edit, and aggressive support! Is there any other better one?

Our new upgrade was up and running less than four minutes after installation. I am very satisfied with the new features and quality code.

Fastest software for editing CAM and nice compatibility with AutoCAD and other CAD files. Already proven SW in the market as the best one!

There were problems all the time with schedules and orders that were late. Working with Metalix with CSV connection to ERP system changed the situation radically.

With cncKad, we save much time and prevent loss from manual errors. The function “ORD CSV MAP” has good integration with our company’s ERP system with the generation of CSV files. AutoNest Pro makes the best use of different materials with the combination of various parts together on one plate for layout. Also, “Smart Cut” can change parts entry, add joints and apply to SubNest. It avoids repeated cuts and thus ensures safe processing … we are very satisfied with cncKad and highly recommend it.

I was very happy (as a software developer) when I saw that your software offers a full functional API, which can be integrated into any programming language.

Excellent advantages of the Metalix software: it can be integrated on various different machines to use the same programs on the same working platform, the software can be customized, the programs can be transferred to apply to different machines, and the files can be managed easily.

Intuitively obvious and friendly interface, wide functions for contour correction, good AutoPunch function equipped  with replenished library of Predefined shapes – all this allows us to optimize the production preparation timing and increase the efficiency of machine operators. Our company’s specialists are happy with the software.

It should be noted that after testing on 15 mm armor-plated metal, Metalix took all the comments we mentioned to the support people and transferred them to the development team. The changes are outstanding and the cutting quality is amazing.

We have just installed a Mitsubishi LVP 3015 Plus laser interfaced with Metalix cncKad software. We should have changed sooner! The features of cncKad auto nesting, drag and drop, and simulation coupled with the Mitsubishi laser has paid for itself in just the first few weeks.

Acabamos de instalar uma máquina de corte a laser Mitsubishi LVP 3015 Plus com o software cncKad da Metalix. Nós deveríamos ter trocado de software mais cedo! Os recursos do agrupamento automático do cncKad, arrastar e soltar e simulação da laser da Mitsubishi pagaram por si só já nas primeiras semanas.

Easy and fast for different brand machines without any problems. It’s the best choice. Everyone can learn cnckad even if he does not know CAD.

Reliable software for punching, laser cutting, autonesting, and 3D CAD Link.  Service and support are good enough!

Metalix has proven to be extremely capable and efficient CAD/CAM software.  Using Metalix has helped us significantly optimize our production. cncKad is intuitive and easy to use and the support from the Metalix team is outstanding. We highly recommend cncKad to anyone in the sheet metal industry looking for fast, powerful and reliable CAD/CAM software.

The agility, ease of use and speed we can work with when using Metalix is key to keeping our machines running 15+ hours per day. Sometimes we have nests with over 30-50 different parts totalling more than 100,000 parts, and Metalix has no problem nesting it and managing it very effectively.

The compatibility with other software packages is very good. For our 3D design we prefer to use PTC Creo. Using the CAD Link Creo plugin, with very few mouse clicks within Creo, we get our parts into Metalix with the correct material, thickness and bend parameters. There is no other workflow that can do it that fast.

AutoNest Pro supports the most powerful and efficient array for punching machines and laser machines. We’re pleased to watch real-time array simulation during autonesting.

The Garrigues company is very satisfied with the Metalix software. We produce decorative panels that are hung in front of large buildings in France.

After using cncKad for about 12 years I think I finally figured out how absolutely fantastic the common line cutting for lasers is to use. I find that I want to common cut almost everything; the more I do, the more I want to do.

Once our new machine landed we were very happy with the speed in which we were able to get into full production. We believe cncKad had much to do with this.

Among all the software we have used, Metalix cncKad has been most customized in the fields of functions, convenience, and the transferring between NCT and laser 3D diagrams.  Besides, based on the Metalix policy of “customer service counseling”, the offering of training and education from Metalix makes its software one of the most superior.

cncKad is very easy to use. Even a new operator is able to learn and create programs after a few hours of training.

cncKad offers all the support and features anyone may need in the sheet metal industry, and the automatic generation of CNC programs is rapid and powerful, using all the capabilities the machine offers.

Metalix fixed our problem with fiber laser … The fast improvement of cncKad resolved all the problems we met.

cncKad is simple to learn and more easy to use … In cncKad everything is done in one module, thus it is possible to stretch a part together with its processing.

I have used Metalix for 8 years and I am very satisfied. I work with two different punching machines and the same software. It is easy to learn and use.

I am very pleased with the way cncKad software has helped me with the daily job.

After a brief training period, we quickly came to top results.
The friendly and competent advice and training makes the overall package of Metalix together with Klaus Buch unbeatable.

We are currently running Metalix 15 and have used Metalix from version 11. We have a few different operating and CAD systems but Metalix is the favourite with our programmers.

Easy to teach and to use, very user friendly, and some good features.

We highly recommend this useful software for any potential company manufacturing sheet metal products.

cncKad lets us make a program with just a few clicks and keystrokes. CNC programming has never been so easy and fast!

We are constantly comparing cncKad with products of its competitors, but still cncKad is easiest to handle, combined with great efficiency.

Finally we got cncKad, which has all the features in one single solution, even things that other big and recognized companies told me were practically impossible… cncKad did it.

After testing various software platforms, we very quickly found that the Metalix software suite is a very powerful piece of software and fits very easily into our workflow. It allows us to rapidly go from design to cutting and punching of parts.

What makes Metalix stand out for me personally is the flexibility that Metalix offers me as the programmer. Metalix AutoNest can make automatic decisions that work in most situations; but when I would like to take a specific approach to a job, it is extremely easy and fast to implement things my way. The software does not push you into a corner and force you to do it a certain way.

We have found the nesting engine to be extremely good compared to other software we have used. And we trust the software very much to make the most of available material with minimum waste.

Has been always a pleasure to work with Metalix … They did several customizations to suit our particular needs even better, and now they are perfect.
