• Easily Draw Accurate Pipe Features in CAD o Round, square and rectangular pipe support
o Pipe shape wizard makes perfect cuts for mating pipes of any diameter with a multitude of joints at any angle
and any size including T joints, end caps, miter joints, Y joints and through pipes
o Pipe sizing wizard automatically sets OD, and thickness of standard pipe sizes
o 3D solid model of pipe joints includes disassembly to preview what both sides of the joint will look like
o Flattened view allows for easy design of custom patters of any shape including slots and text
o “Ghost 2D views” show feature wrapping with no
interruption
o Fully rotatable solid model view
• Tailor Toolpaths and Nest in a Snap with CAM o Easily nest multiples of the same or different parts,
minimizing pipe or tube scrap
o Toolpath automatically generated in CAM using
parameters and cut charts from cutting head
o Simple graphical manipulation of lead ins and lead outs
o Embedded cut charts precisely set feedrates, cut
heights, peirce times, kerf compensation and target
voltages for any size pipe
• Cut Accurate Parts With Confidence in CNC o G-Code automatically generated
o Full 3D visualization of rotary toolpath in CNC module
while pipe is being cut
o Flat sheet option for cutting unwrapped pipes and
tubes
o No-Cut zones account for chuck, fixture and roller
locations – preventing roller burning or jamming
o Stingray® Torch Height Control ensures clean cuts
regardless of the accuracy of the stock pipe
