The McLease FABDESIGN PRO: Integrated CAD/CAM Software License is your essential digital toolkit for designing and preparing parts for cutting, ensuring precision from concept to final product. This is a digital product – a software license – that you install on your computer, bringing together Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) capabilities.
What it is & How it Works (Engineering Principle):
- CAD (Computer-Aided Design): This part of the software allows you to create, modify, analyze, or optimize 2D drawings and 3D models of your parts. It's where your design ideas come to life digitally.
- CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing): This part takes your finished CAD design and automatically generates the precise instructions (toolpaths and G-code) that your CNC cutting machine needs to follow. It defines the cutting sequence, speed, lead-ins, lead-outs, and compensation for the cutting width (kerf). The software works by converting your digital geometry into machine-readable commands. It applies complex algorithms to ensure the most efficient and accurate cutting process possible, directly translating your design into machine motion.
Use & Application:
McLease FABDESIGN PRO licenses are critical for:
- Fiber Laser Cutting Machines (3kW, 6kW, 12kW, and above): For designing intricate parts and generating optimized laser cutting paths.
- CNC Plasma-OxyFuel Cutters (125A, 150A, 200A, 250A, 300A): Essential for creating designs and preparing complex cutting programs for plasma and oxy-fuel.
- Any Metal Fabrication Industry: From small job shops to large manufacturers, where precise part design and efficient machine programming are vital.
Benefits of Using FABDESIGN PRO Software:
- Enhanced Accuracy: Create precise designs and generate accurate cutting paths, minimizing errors and rework.
- Increased Efficiency: Automate repetitive design tasks and rapidly generate machine programs, saving significant time.
- Complex Part Creation: Design intricate 2D shapes or complex 3D components that would be difficult or impossible to create manually.
- Material Optimization (via integrated Nesting): Many CAD/CAM solutions include or integrate with nesting modules to maximize material usage (reducing waste – check our NESTPRO software for dedicated nesting solutions!).
- Cutting Simulation: Preview the cutting process on your screen before running the machine, identifying potential issues and ensuring quality.
- Reduced Programming Time: Automate the tedious process of writing G-code, allowing operators to focus on production.
Key Features (Common & Advanced):

- CAM Capabilities (Specific to Cutting):
- Automated Toolpath Generation for laser and plasma.
- Kerf Compensation: Automatically accounts for the width of the cut.
- Lead-in/Lead-out Customization: Control arc starts/ends for quality.
- Pierce Optimization: Controls how the cut starts.
- Common Line Cutting & Bridge/Chain Cutting (often integrated or add-on modules).
- Remnant Management (for leftover material).
- Machine Simulation: Visual verification of cutting process.
- Post-processing: Generates G-code specific to your CNC controller (e.g., compatible with FSCUT Series, F2300A, F2500A, Siemens, Fanuc).
- User Interface: Intuitive and user-friendly for faster learning and operation.
- Upgrade Options: Licenses for higher modules (e.g., from 2D to 3D, advanced CAM features) or additional functionalities are available.
Popular Models/Brands in India:
We offer licenses for widely used and reputable CAD/CAM software solutions in India:
- Standard CAD (e.g., AutoCAD, ZWCAD): For design.
- Integrated CAD/CAM for Cutting: Often derived from or compatible with mainstream CAD, these include specific modules for laser/plasma such as those integrated with control systems (e.g., CypCut's own design tools) or dedicated solutions like Most2D, Kartik CAD/CAM, AlmaCAM, iTSoft.
- Professional Suites: (e.g., SolidWorks with CAMWorks, Fusion 360, specialized modules for larger industrial users).
Brief Troubleshooting (Software):
- Installation Issues: Ensure your computer meets system requirements. Check anti-virus/firewall settings.
- File Import Errors: Verify file format compatibility and integrity of the CAD drawing.
- Toolpath Generation Problems: Check part geometry (e.g., open contours), material parameters, and machine limits settings.
- G-code Issues: Verify post-processor settings are correct for your specific CNC controller.
Brief Installation & Maintenance:
- Installation: A digital product, installation involves downloading the software, following setup instructions, and activating the license key provided.
- Maintenance: Regularly update the software to the latest versions (as provided by the software developer). Back up your design files and CAM programs regularly.
Warranties & Support:
All McLease FABDESIGN PRO licenses come with the standard software developer's warranty, covering functionality. Post-purchase support is provided by the software developer as per their licensing terms (typically 12 months included support, renewable).
