Summa NV’s GoProduce Flatbed Edition 3.0 software is now available with every new F Series and as a paid upgrade for existing users.
The new version of the GoProduce software is tailored to Summa’s flatbed cutter range, the F Series. As a result, the in-house developed software ensures optimal utilisation of the flatbed cutters and efficiency in customers’ production processes.
The specification ‘Flatbed Edition’ has now been added to the software name to make a clear distinction in the software available, as Summa also has production software for their L Series laser cutters called GoProduce Laser Edition.
The software comes with every new F Series and is easy to install. With its intuitive interface and easy navigation, the software is user-friendly and users quickly find their way around. For users who want to get the most out of their cutter and workflow, a Pro Pack is available that unlocks additional features such as barcode functionality, hot folder support and Twin X workflow.
Goproduce includes the material manager, which provides a library of materials and their optimised settings. There are already a whole lot of them included, but users can also add new ones manually. The action sets are standard and users can custom make them, perfect to optimise the workflow for a user’s way of working. Backside cutting is made possible to cut the unprinted backside of the material, perfect for cutting packages, as that way the tool does not damage the design. Sorting optimises the cutting path, making the machine more efficient and makes output faster. There is also a barcode functionality Pro Pack, with the barcode functionality reading the printed barcode and automatically identifying the job to obtain the necessary cutting data from the computer.
The new features include the powerful 64-bit software, which not only runs faster, but now has more working memory, making it operate more efficiently. Connected media handling integrates the flatbed cutter smoothly with peripherals to create an efficient automated workflow, using the GoConnect software integration. There are new predefined action sets for automatic feeder support and new logging features for better support.
The V3 software is optimised for routing jobs. It comes with new routing capabilities that are perfect for cutting out shapes more precisely. They maximise productivity when processing wood, acrylics and plastics. The features supporting this include the automatic detection of drill hole placeholders and the lead-in or lead-out function for the milling path, which can now automatically start and end outside of the shape. There are two possibilities to do this using either a perpendicular lead-in or corner lead-in.
Randi Kerkaert, Product Manager at Summa, said: ‘I’m excited to see how this major software release will take our customers’ production processes to the next level. We’re not just updating features. Each major upgrade enhances the way our users interact with their F Series flatbed cutters and helps to maximise the productivity of their equipment. With GoProduce Flatbed Edition 3.0, we’re once again raising the bar for what users can achieve with our software.’
