AMADA supports its software with a robust training network. The "AMADA School," established in 1985, provides comprehensive training on both machine operation and software programming. Courses range from basic introductions to in-depth programming for specific solutions, held at technical centers in a classroom setting, or even onsite.

Generic CAM software often forces machines to run at conservative speeds. Amada 3i unlocks the true maximum speed, acceleration, and specialized cutting features (like fly-cutting or high-speed piercing) of Amada hardware. amada 3i software
is an advanced, integrated manufacturing platform designed to control and optimize sheet metal production from initial 3D design to the final physical part. Developed by AMADA, the platform represents the acronym Virtual Prototyping Simulation System .
Automatically optimizes sheet utilization for fiber lasers and punch presses. AMADA supports its software with a robust training network
More than just a control interface, the 3i system represents a paradigm shift in how operators interact with machinery. It moves the fabricator away from the archaic "black and green screen" era into a modern, touch-centric, networked environment. Below is an in-depth look at the architecture, features, and impact of Amada 3i software.
Utilizing advanced algorithms for faster processing. | Feature | Amada 3i | Generic 3rd
The ability to simulate bending and cutting allows for the "first part, good part" concept. By detecting errors in the virtual environment, it eliminates the need for expensive physical prototypes and reduces scrap rate. Seamless Integration and Automation
The 4ie system integrates CAD, CAM, and AI-powered features into a single platform, simplifying the process of going from design to production-ready parts.
