en.Wedoany.com Reported - RoboDK, a global leader in robot offline programming and simulation software, is showcasing its newly launched RoboDK CAM software at the Automate trade show (Booth #4476), demonstrating how to directly generate robot machining programs from CAD files. The software can reduce robot machining deployment time by up to 40%.

Live demonstrations show how users can directly generate toolpaths and collision-free robot motions from CAD files and execute them in a production-ready environment, eliminating the need for manual, line-by-line construction and adjustment of robot code.

The complexity of traditional robot programming methods is a major barrier to the widespread adoption of robot machining. RoboDK CAM addresses this by providing manufacturers and integrators with a rapid transition from design to production-ready automation cells, making it accessible even for manufacturers lacking robot programming expertise.

Albert Nubiola, CEO of RoboDK, stated that the need for specialized knowledge to generate robot machining programs creates costly bottlenecks. The method demonstrated by RoboDK, starting from CAD with automatically generated programs, enables faster and more repeatable deployment, translating to rapid automation integration and deployment for manufacturers and integrators.

At the RoboDK booth (#4476), a compact industrial setup featuring a Mecademic robot will demonstrate its impact on real-world application workflows: CAD-to-robot machining, where toolpaths generated directly from CAD models are executed as robot machining processes; and intelligent motion with obstacle avoidance, performing pick-and-place tasks using automatic collision-free motion planning in constrained environments.

RoboDK CAM enables faster deployment of robot machining applications with less manual intervention, reduced workload, and higher consistency.

This showcase coincides with the release of RoboDK version 6.0, which introduces performance and simulation improvements alongside native CAM support. This update significantly accelerates core operations such as collision detection and geometry processing, achieving speed improvements of up to 10x to 100x in certain cases, while also enhancing the handling of large point clouds and complex 3D models.

RoboDK version 6.0 also expands motion planning capabilities and simulation flexibility, including enhancements to the collision-free motion planner and new event-based simulation features for modeling more complex automation scenarios.

As of February 2026, RoboDK software supports over 1,400 robot models from more than 80 robot brands, marking a significant milestone for the software as a hardware-agnostic tool backed by the world's largest digital library of robot arms and components.
