Programming

At EMI, we are one of the few machine manufacturers that gives fabricators a flexible software pathway to advanced programming and automation.

For shops that are new to CNC automation, our proprietary PieceMaker software makes it easy to take the first step toward more advanced production by allowing machine operators to quickly key in specs right at the machine and right from the drawing.

For more sophisticated fabricators who are used to advanced programming, our machines all integrate with the industry-standard Lantek Flex 3D system. This software provides advanced capabilities and maximum flexibility for busy fabricators.

Learn more about our programming and software options below, and please contact us today to request a software demo and discuss how EMI machines can benefit your shop. We look forward to hearing from you!

  • PieceMaker Overview

    PieceMaker is our own proprietary software that powers our EL-SQRD and TPC systems. This software is unique because it was designed to make it easy for fabricators to make parts from the drawings right on the shop floor. That makes it a great choice for shops and teams that are new to automation.

    With PieceMaker, you can get parts running quickly by simply keying in a few data points right from the drawing. Best of all, adoption is easy because there is no need for engineering to create digital files, and there is no need for shop processes to change.
