Robotmaster CAD Module: Native 3D Modeling & Geometry Repair for Robotic Automation

Create, repair, and optimize geometry directly within Robotmaster.
Eliminate CAD software switching and accelerate robot programming.

Preparing 3D models for robotic applications often becomes a bottleneck when geometry issues require additional CAD tools and manual rework. The Robotmaster CAD Module provides native CAD/CAM capabilities for robot simulation and offline programming, enabling users to create, repair, extract, and optimize geometry within a single environment. Whether creating parts from scratch or isolating critical regions on complex imported meshes, the module streamlines Digital Twin preparation and accelerates deployment.

Speed Up Offline Programming with Built-In CAD Tools

Only the CAD Tools Robot Programmers Need

The intuitive Create/Modify tabs are stripped down to the exact geometry tools you need for robotic path generation—giving you quick access to surface splitting, curve extraction, and boolean operations with straightforward Apply, OK, and Cancel workflows.

Rapid Geometry Repair & Model Cleanup

Don’t let poorly optimized, heavy CAD files dictate your programming time or crash your system. Aggressively clean up imported geometry directly in your OLP environment. By removing unwanted features—like fillet, chamfer, pocket and so on.—you stabilize TCP orientation and prevent software lag. Generate reliable reference lines directly from your 3D model, giving you a mathematically clean foundation so you can focus on robot kinematics rather than drafting splines.

Reliable Toolpath Foundations

Automatically generate flawless trajectories by extracting precise reference lines directly from your 3D model. Utilize Curve from edge for quick offset paths in trimming operations, or use Curve at solid intersections to instantly extract hidden weld seams where complex plates meet.

Complete CAD/CAM Integration & Cell Prototyping

From simple 2D wireframes to complex 3D volumes, build your manufacturing models natively using Solid Extrusion, Solid Revolve, and Solid Sweep. Missing 3D models for your fixtures or workcell? Rapidly sketch and generate dummy end-effectors, rotaries, or safety fences to validate reach and ensure collision-free simulations instantly.

Workflow Spotlight: Localized Surface Finishing on Complex Parts

Ideal for Robotic Polishing, Grinding, and Painting

The Challenge:

When working with complex geometries such as bicycle frames or structural tubes, the imported CAD model often presents large, single, continuous surfaces. However, your robot may only need to polish or grind a very specific localized area. Selecting the entire face generates an oversized toolpath, wasting cycle time and risking over-processing.

The 2-Step Native Solution:

You don’t need to send the model back to the design team. Isolate the exact machining area directly within Robotmaster:

Define the Boundary: Use Curve along UV lines to define the exact boundaries of the machining area directly on the curved surface.
Isolate the Region: Use Split face to divide the surface using the newly created curves. The selected finishing area becomes an independent region, ready for accurate toolpath generation.

Solving Real-World Robotic Manufacturing Challenges

The Robotmaster CAD Module helps prepare and optimize geometry for a wide range of robotic manufacturing processes, enabling more accurate toolpaths and more efficient programming workflows.

Robotic Grinding & Polishing

Achieve controlled and repeatable finishing on complex parts such as bicycle frames and tubular structures. When imported models contain large continuous surfaces, use Curve along UV lines and Split face to isolate specific grinding or polishing zones. This ensures toolpaths remain within the intended boundaries, reducing cycle time and preventing unnecessary material removal.

Robotic Trimming & Edge Finishing

Generate accurate edge-trimming paths directly from part geometry. Using Curve from Edge, programmers can quickly extract model boundaries and create offset toolpaths for trimming and edge-finishing processes. This eliminates unnecessary CAD rework while accelerating program creation.

Robotic Welding

Generate accurate weld paths on complex multi-part assemblies. When two plates or structural components intersect, the actual weld seam is often hidden within the solid geometry and difficult to extract manually. Use Curve at Solid Intersections to automatically generate the intersection curve between mating parts, creating a precise welding path in seconds.
