Laser projection software for display of CAD data

Operating software for CAD-PRO laser projection systems

PRO-SOFT is the user-friendly operating environment for your CAD-PRO laser projection system. With a single platform, you can organize your daily work routine easily and efficiently. The software supports you from work preparation and managing projections, all the way through to documentation and quality assurance.

Export your CAD data into common exchange formats.
Manage all projection steps with a click of the mouse or remote control.
Streamline your production processes through optimized workflows.

Features

Viewport

The Viewport function allows you to project sections (viewports) of complex projection files. With this function, only the part of the projection file that is relevant for production is projected. In the projection window you can drag a frame around the desired area via mouse click. Irrelevant parts of the projection are hidden. This can increase projection quality.

Embedded help

The context-sensitive help function offers short explanations and links to the requested topic in the manual. This allows the operator to directly call up the appropriate chapter for the current work step. The embedded help is also available in the PRO-SOFT Configuration.

Projection accuracy or speed

At the factory, the laser projector is set to project contours with a high degree of accuracy. For some applications, high speed is more important than a high degree of accuracy. The laser projector can then project with a reduced degree of accuracy at a higher speed. As a result, the laser projection is perceived as more pleasant by the human eye.

Projecting a menu

An alternative to controlling the laser projector via the computer is operation via remote control and a projected menu. The software can project the menu, for example, right next to the projection surface or on a wall on the opposite side of the room. You can operate the software from any position and do not need to access the PRO-SOFT computer for each work step.

User management

User management prevents unauthorized people from operating the projection system or changing the configuration. The software therefore provides the possibility to define the rights of users. User management can be used flexibly, making it possible e.g. to secure access to the software settings through a password-protected administrator account.

Additional settings

PRO-SOFT can operate in metric or imperial units. You can switch unit selection in a running system; no restart is required. You can also choose between a light or dark background, large or small toolbar buttons, and up to 12 languages.

PRO-SOFT TP

PRO-SOFT TP is the standard software for all works on a plane surface in combination with height coordinates. The height level of the projection (Z-coordinates) can be changed manually. For recurrent height values, you can easily create buttons in the tool bar. Typical applications: wood and stone processing industries, prefab homes production, roof truss production and the precast concrete parts industry.

PRO-SOFT UT

This software has been optimized for users in the precast concrete industry. You can import and display data in Unitechnik format. Unitechnik controls are displayed in the lower part of the screen. The software supports the production of double-wall and massive wall elements. Positions of reinforcements also can be shown.

PRO-SOFT ST

For projection on 3D surfaces PRO-SOFT ST is the right choice. The single tasking version can control complex work areas with up to 16 projectors. More projectors can be connected with customized solutions. Projectors may be placed with offset to each other, turned by 90°, facing each other or crosswise to cover contorted or twisted shapes.

PRO-SOFT MT

If you want to manage several independent work processes from one PC, PRO-SOFT Multi Task (MT) allows you to start several instances of the software to perform multiple tasks in parallel. Several client computers can be connected to the PRO-SOFT server. This client/server function allows different operating concepts to be implemented for controlling the laser projection system via PC and portable devices such as tablets or handhelds.
