PipeDream is a comprehensive software platform designed to streamline your tube and pipe fabrication workflow. Configure and simulate bends, notches, and holes with precision, then use the IronLogik X1 machine to execute cuts and engrave critical bend locations.
Key Features
3D Design & Visualization
Create complex tube and pipe assemblies with intuitive 3D modeling tools. Preview your designs in real-time with accurate geometry and material representation.
Notch Configuration
Design and configure precise notches for tube intersections. Simulate notch geometry before cutting to ensure perfect fit.
Hole Placement
Plan and position holes with precision. Visualize hole placement in 3D to verify positioning before fabrication.
Bend Simulation
Simulate bend operations to visualize the final part geometry. Verify bend angles and locations before fabrication.
Engraving Control
Engrave critical bend locations directly on the material. Mark reference points and bend indicators for accurate fabrication.
Machine Control
Direct control of the IronLogik X1 from your browser. Monitor axis positions, driver status, and execute G-code programs with real-time feedback.
G-Code Generation
Automatically generate optimized G-code from your designs. Edit and simulate toolpaths before sending to your machine.
BOM Generation
Automatically generate bills of materials from your designs. Track materials, quantities, and specifications for each project.
Workflow Integration
PipeDream integrates seamlessly with the IronLogik X1 CNC plasma notching machine, providing a complete end-to-end solution for tube and pipe fabrication. The software communicates directly with the machine controller, enabling real-time monitoring and control of cutting, notching, and engraving operations.
