Aeronaut Software for Technical Textiles
Aeronaut develops software in-house for technical textiles industries. In fact, this is one of the foundations of Aeronaut Automation when it was Aeronaut Sails. We'd bought a plotter for our work and while it would plot a sail panel, it wouldn't plot a sail number or boom cover pattern without hours of extra work. We began developing CAD file conversion software in 1986 (which of course means we know a bit about CAD file formats by now!) to allow us to plot patterns from otherwise incompatible software.
Now, more than 30 years later, Aeronaut is one of the leading software developers for automated cutting systems. Not just software to drive a cutter but the all-important software tools to let you design, nest and cut the patterns you need, quickly and efficiently without having to be a full-time CAD worker.
Because Aeronaut Automation was begun by people who knew about textiles and how to run a pair of scissors or a hot knife, Aeronaut's software is practical and industry focussed. We don't do CAD software because you can buy good CAD software almost anywhere. What we do is the essential tools to link up your products with our cutting systems to make sure you get the best use from your investment.
Our Tangent cutter control software has best in class file import routines so you can import and cut your work, wherever the designs come from, as fast as possible, with the least operator intervention.
Our design tools, whether they're dedicated software for window furnishings or a standalone utility program which lets you create a pool cover from your measurements are developed for the average worker who has no need for CAD software.
ParaSol for Shade Design
Aeronaut's ParaSol software is the best tool you can buy for the rapid pattern design of almost all shade products from roman and roller blinds to outdoor awnings, screens and café curtains. With over 25 years of development and hundreds of users, ParaSol has window furnishings covered.
Machine Vision & Alignment
Aeronaut's SiliconEye and Cyclops machine vision systems are essential tools for modern automated cutting systems. Aligning cut profiles with digitally printed material, striped or patterned fabric or irregular shaped hides or scrap material on the cutting table is quick and simple.
