COMPUTER-AIDED PROCESS PLANNING

Meet SETU

The bridge between your CAD model and the manufacturing system. SETU streamlines process planning for WAAM and DED—from geometry preparation and slicing to toolpath planning and machine-ready output.

From CAD to Deposition

A single process-planning environment designed to reduce the gap between component geometry, deposition strategy and robotic manufacturing.

Import

Bring component geometry into the SETU workspace.

Configure

Define part orientation, process and manufacturing setup.

Slice

Generate deposition layers based on the required build strategy.

Plan

Create deposition paths and process-aware trajectories.

Deploy

Prepare output for robot or CNC-based manufacturing systems.

See SETU in Action

Actual interface views and demonstration footage from the SETU CAPP environment.

Intuitive Part & Process Setup

Prepare the component and manufacturing configuration through a visual workflow instead of building process plans manually across disconnected software tools.

Process configuration in one environment

Visual Slicing & Toolpath Planning

Inspect the build layer-by-layer and generate deposition trajectories with immediate visual feedback before transferring the plan to the manufacturing system.

One Planning Environment

SETU is intended as a universal CAPP layer between CAD and multiple robotic/CNC manufacturing platforms, helping users standardize the digital workflow for metal deposition.

Inside the SETU Interface

Actual screenshots captured from the SETU demonstration, showing the GUI across the process-planning workflow.

Deposition Strategy

Configure and compare process strategies directly in the 3D workspace.

Slicing

Control slicing parameters and inspect the generated layers visually.

Toolpath Generation

Generate and inspect deposition trajectories before manufacturing.

Robot Simulation

Visualize the deposition process with the manufacturing system.

Part Setup

Position the component and define substrate and material information.

Project Dashboard

Manage parts and process-planning projects from a unified interface.

Visual Storytelling Areas

These placeholder visuals reserve space for future SETU screenshots, toolpath graphics, shop-floor photographs and application results.

Advanced Toolpaths

Use this area for IMD, trochoidal, TSP, continuous zig-zag or other SETU-generated path visualizations.

FUTURE DEMONSTRATION CLIP

From SETU to the Manufacturing Cell

A dedicated video area has been added for a future short clip showing the complete sequence: CAD model → SETU planning → toolpath → simulation → physical deposition. The current clip is intentionally a dummy placeholder and can be replaced without changing the page layout.

Dummy video — replace later

Built for Advanced Deposition Planning

Capabilities can be presented around the manufacturing problems SETU is designed to solve.

WAAM / WADED

Process planning for wire-arc based additive manufacturing and directed energy deposition.

Advanced Toolpaths

Support for specialized deposition strategies developed for geometry, thermal management and productivity.

Repair Planning

Extend the digital workflow toward localized material addition and remanufacturing applications.

Robot / CNC Agnostic

A planning philosophy aimed at connecting manufacturing intent with different motion platforms.

One Software. Multiple Manufacturing Platforms.

Position SETU as the process-planning bridge across leading industrial robot and CNC ecosystems.
