CAD Product

SCANNING Pragma provides flexible and powerful instruments for footwear projection. It obtains automatically or manually data, in 2D or 3D, from the model pattern, the last or from single pieces.


TECHNIQUE The technical tools used by the program are complete and precise; the operations, that manually would be very complex, with Pragma become easy and automatic. You can design any kind of shoe either in 2D and in 3D. Each changing is managed in both modes.

GRADING The size grading functions satisfy all the needs of restrictions or special changing. The parametric structure, even in 3D, always guarantee a correct work.

CONSUMPTION Calculating the correct consumption of the materials never was easier. Materials are fixed graphically and, with the constant help of the software, the correct consumption of leather or textile is calculated. The calculating modes can be personalized and modified according to the type of material used.

TECHNICAL SHEETS They are graphic and completely parametric, multi-language and with the integrated management of the product variants. The presence of a visual editor allows anybody to create and modify the technical card according to one's taste and needs.

World Wide Web Pragma places at disposal of its users the most advanced technologies of internet. You can consult or modify the Pragma project data whenever and wherever. You can use every kind of computer (Windows, iMac, Linux, Sun, etc...). It is sufficient to be connected to internet and, with a standard browser you can work in collaboration in real time.

PERIPHERALS The CAM functions simulate and generate the best cutting path of the CNC peripherals. The multi-threading kernel of Pragma, can work in parallel while the work on the same model goes on. The peripherals piloting can be directed, on LAN or INTERNET. The 3D CAM manages the NURBS curves and surfaces allowing a high precision and control in the milling of lasts and heels.

Virtual assembly of workpieces programmed in woodWOP
Experience with CNC machines has shown how important it is to check the individual components. Programming errors such as incorrect offset, spacing errors and incorrect coordinates cause high material costs and loss of machine time.

Advantages

*Errors in the programming are identified immediately.
*It is not necessary to manufacture prototypes.
*Particularly effective for series production or high-value materials

woodAssembler displays your projects in 3D and makes it possible to assemble components using the mouse. Your programs generated in woodWOP are used as the data source.
Modern technology makes it possible for you to check the components virtually and in this way find errors conveniently on the PC without the need to manufacture expensive prototypes. Variably created objects can be edited directly.

When considering a solution for your Punch, Laser or Combination Machines cncKad – Metalix CAD/CAM Software System – provides solutions for all your needs.

cncKad is integrated with solid modelers such as SolidWorks®, Solid Edge®, Autodesk® Inventor®, Pro/ENGINEER® and Vertex G4®, therefore there is no need for any intermediate files such as DXF in order to transfer your projects to cncKad.

cncKad can read also DWG files directly from AutoCAD®, in addition to IGES, CADL, DXF and a few others formats.

Sheet Metal oriented commands make creating geometry in cncKad extremely easy.

You can easily validate your geometry with features simple in use, like Correction, Analysis and Modification.

Laser Software

The ApS-Ethos Laser Cutting and Engraving Software enables vector files to be imported or created before outputting to a CadCam Technology Laser Cutting Machine. Numerous automatic features exist that can be used to organise the layout of designs prior to outputting, it is also possible to assign material effects to a design to ensure accurate cutting.

* Designed specifically for lasers
* Outstanding cutting control
* Simple & accurate drawing tools
* Powerful production tools

Embroidery Software

Various modules of the ApS-Ethos Embroidery Software are available, which allow customers to select the appropriate level and features they require. The range available includes a Design Storage level for the organisation and cataloguing of designs, through to Editing⁄Lettering levels and the more advanced Digitising levels. This fully comprehensive suite of embroidery software means we have a level to complement any embroidery company.

* Embroidery software since 1984
* Excellent Support & Training
* Powerful production tools
* Outstanding stitch quality

Do you hesitate to change the price of a menu item just because it means re-programming the cash register? Do you hate that little worn out, paper "thingy" on top of your cash register keyboard because it’s covered with messy whiteout or has little squares of paper pasted all over it everywhere new menu items have been added? Are you frustrated with getting all your reports on two-inch wide paper with only one date range to choose from? Do you dread searching through dusty old boxes full of journal tape rolls to find an old report?

You are not alone! Wouldn’t it be great if you could find a program to simplify those jobs, or even to eliminate some of them completely. How much easier would it be if you could reduce the complex task of adding a brand new menu item and assigning it a position on the keyboard to just a few keystrokes on the PC? How about completely eliminating the need for a business with more than one location, to run around to each store late at night after closing in order to make the changes at the Point of Sale (POS) in time for the next day’s big sale. Think about how handy it would be if you never had to worry about updating that keyboard template to reflect new menu items added to the program.
