Amada has hinted at the next evolution: . This will allow multi-facility synchronization. Imagine a job shop in Chicago seeing the real-time capacity of a satellite shop in Indiana and routing a job automatically.
Beyond its interface, the 3i is an . It communicates fluently with AMADA’s VPSS 3i (Virtual Prototype Simulation System) ecosystem. This integration means that a part designed in the office is sent to the machine with all its "DNA" intact—tooling requirements, bend sequences, and material properties are automatically loaded. The software’s ability to handle high-speed data processing ensures that even complex, multi-tool setups are managed with micro-millimeter precision. Driving Industry 4.0
AMADA’s software is the digital backbone of modern sheet metal fabrication, serving as a high-performance control system designed to bridge the gap between complex engineering and shop-floor execution. By integrating an intuitive, smartphone-like interface with powerful processing capabilities, the 3i (intelligent, interactive, integrated) software transforms how operators interact with press brakes, punch presses, and laser cutting machines. Seamless Human-Machine Interface
For laser cutting operations, one of the biggest challenges is bridging the gap between 3D design and 2D flat cutting. is the intelligent software module responsible for this transition.
