RoboDK to Demonstrate CAM Software at Automate Chicago 2026
June 26, 2026RoboDK, a global provider in offline programming (OLP) and simulation software for robots, will showcase its newly launched RoboDK CAM software at Automate (booth 4476), demonstrating how robotic machining programs can be generated directly from CAD files. Designed to help people deploy robots with ease, RoboDK CAM can cut robotic machining deployment time by up to 40%, the company reported.
"The live demonstration will show how easily users can generate toolpaths and collision-free robot motion straight from CAD files and execute them in a production-ready environment, without having to manually build and tune robot code line by line," said a company spokesperson.
Robotic machining adoption has been held back by the complexity of traditional methods of robot programming, the company reported. RoboDK CAM addresses this problem by providing a way for manufacturers -including those without robot programming expertise - and integrators to move quickly and easily from design to production-ready automation cells.
“When generating robotic machining programs requires robot-specific expertise, it becomes a costly bottleneck,” said Albert Nubiola, CEO, RoboDK. “At Automate, RoboDK will showcase a different approach to robot programming where CAD becomes the starting point, programs are automatically generated, and deployment becomes much faster and more repeatable. For manufacturers and integrators, this means rapid automation integration and deployments.”
At RoboDK's Automate booth 4476, a compact industrial setup featuring a Mecademic robot will demonstrate the impact on real-world application workflows:
• CAD-to-robot machining: Toolpaths generated directly from a CAD model and executed as a robotic machining process
• Smart motion with collision avoidance: A pick-and-place task using automatic, collision-free motion planning in a constrained environment.
RoboDK CAM enables robotic machining applications to be deployed faster, with less manual intervention, reduced effort, and greater consistency, the company reported.
The showcase comes fresh on the release of RoboDK Version 6.0, which introduces performance and simulation improvements alongside native CAM support, according to the company. The update significantly accelerates core operations such as collision checking and geometry processing (by up to 10x to 100x times in some cases) while improving handling of large point clouds and complex 3D models.
RoboDK Version 6.0 also expands motion planning capabilities and simulation flexibility, including enhancements to its collision-free motion planner and new event-based simulation features for modelling more complex automation scenarios.
In February 2026, RoboDK software achieved support for more than 1,400 robot models across more than 50 robot brands.
