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.

Using MTube, you can design almost any type of tube: circular, rectangular, elliptical, obround, angle, channel, and custom rectangular tube parts.

As you design your tube, watch the changes emerging graphically, in three dimensions.

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.

The bend cuts in rectangular tubes allow you to later fold manufactured tubes that you designed in MTube.

You can define the cut direction (left or top), bend angle and distance parameters, and determine the length of MicroJoints, thereby simplifying the manual creation of this feature.

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.

See the CAD tube part, imported into MTube
Industry-standard tube import allows 3D profile imports from CAD packages such as k Solid Edge®, SOLIDWORKS®, Autodesk® Inventor®, Catia and PTC Creo®; and CAD formats such as IGES, Parasolid, STEP, and SAT.
This feature is useful for customers who do not have access to CAM software yet need to process parts provided by an external supplier.

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.

Transfer Tubes from MTube to cncKad

You can transfer tubes from MTube to cncKad.
Then, you can cut the tubes that you have imported, and process them with all the cncKad features.
