For over 30 years, TYPE EDIT has been supporting professionals around the world in the signage, tooling, jewelry, and watchmaking industries.

TYPE CAD, 2D design

Discover the full power of a comprehensive solution designed to merge the worlds of industrial art and production. With TYPE CAD, you can build your own 2D designs, controlling every detail from points to line weights and curve attraction coefficients. The power of vector creation is combined with a high level of spatial precision, with up to 16 decimal places. (+)

TYPE ART, 3D creation and bas-relief

A solution entirely dedicated to the design of 3D bas-reliefs, TYPE ART can transform any 2D element into 3D sculptures from simple 2D imports or designs created entirely in the TYPE CAD module. All the power you need to increase or decrease the reliefs of your designs is gathered in this easy-to-use section of the software. (+)

TYPE CAM, 16 toolpath strategies

With a powerful algorithmic calculation engine, all 2D and 3D elements built or imported into the interface can be organized into specific cutting strategies to obtain CNC program simulations. With TYPE CAM machining software, users can arrange their productions using a construction tree and modify the generated paths at any time, in the desired order, offering flexibility in the post-processing of paths, perfectly executed from the first attempt thanks to numerous simulations.

TYPE CAD - ultra-complete 2D CAD

TYPE CAD is TYPE EDIT's 2D CAD module designed for demanding professionals. Over 150 functions allow you to easily import, create, and edit your shapes, text, and curves, thanks to a modern and fully customizable interface.

Compatible with all major formats (DXF, PDF, SVG, AI, STL, IGES, etc.), TYPE CAD offers precise vector control, a Braille assistant, Datamatrix, integrated LED positioning, and tools for optimizing waste and color-based machining.

With its Unicode compatibility and 64-bit architecture, it easily handles complex, multilingual projects while ensuring seamless interoperability thanks to the .gvt format.

TYPE CAD combines power, simplicity, and efficiency for all your 2D design projects.

TYPE ART - ultimate 3D shape design

Our TYPE ART 3D modeling is unique and opens up endless possibilities. Thanks to a complete construction tree, all modeling steps remain accessible and editable: you can modify the parameters and replay the design endlessly.

A dynamic 3D viewer allows you to view your creations in real time. Easily apply textures, create shapes by sweeping curves, etc. All tools are designed to be intuitive and easy to use.

Adjust the resolution of your TYPE ART 3D models according to your needs.

Above all, every TYPE ART 3D model is perfectly machinable on all XYZ Cartesian machines.

TYPE CAM - Custom machining, without limits

With more than 15 powerful toolpath strategies, TYPE CAM allows you to engrave, cut, and hollow out in 2D, 2.5D, and 3D, regardless of your materials, whether hard or soft, or applications (from jewelry/watchmaking to large signs).

Compatible with all CNC milling machines and routers on the market, TYPE CAM is the only solution capable of controlling multi-head machines (spindle, cutter, roller, etc.) for unmatched productivity and flexibility.

Move from design to finished part with precision and efficiency thanks to TYPE CAM, the module that unlocks the potential of all your CNC machines with a single CAD/CAM solution and its unparalleled machining simulation.

Machining - Post-processor

Post-processor machining is the final step in TYPE EDIT to generate the correct code and instructions, such as G-code, or any other HPGL-based, binary, or specific language for any machine on the market.

The management of the machine's tool changer and rotary axis is simple and efficient under TYPE EDIT.
