Para-Flex

Automation for work preparation and production

Para-Flex is software designed to automate work preparation and streamline production processes within IronCAD. It connects design, data generation and CNC output in one integrated workflow.

From a single 3D model, Para-Flex automatically generates production data such as cutting lists, purchasing lists, sheet optimisations and CNC programs. This reduces manual work and ensures consistency throughout the entire process.

Learn the basics

From design to production in one workflow

Para-Flex enables a continuous workflow from engineering to manufacturing. Instead of working across separate tools and manual steps, everything is connected within one environment.

You design in IronCAD, after which Para-Flex automatically generates all required production data. Materials are optimised, layouts are calculated and output can be sent directly to CNC machines. When a design changes, all related data updates instantly.

What Para-Flex does

Para-Flex focuses on automating repetitive and error-prone tasks in work preparation. All output is derived directly from the 3D model, eliminating the need for separate tools or manual calculations. Because everything is generated from a single source, the risk of errors is significantly reduced and processes become more predictable.

Integration with IronCAD and CNC machines

Para-Flex is fully integrated into IronCAD and supports direct communication with CNC machines. This creates a consistent data flow from design to production, without manual transfers between systems.

The result is a more reliable and repeatable production process. Para-Flex supports machines from manufacturers such as Homag, Biesse, SCM and Masterwood.
