Load a 3D model of your tool and convert it to a robot tool by dragging and dropping it onto the robot ( include STEP, IGES and STL).
Supported formats: stl, stp, step, igs, iges, obj, slp, 3ds, dae, blend, vrml, wrl, wrml
Accurately calibrate your robot tools using RoboDK to improve robot programming accuracy.

Load the 3D model of your parts, fixtures and robot environment
  • Place your 3D model in a reference frame
  • Easily click and drag your reference frame (also known as the robot coordinate system or datum) for a quick proof of concept
  • Enter the coordinates from your robot controller
  • Accurately locate the part offline and create your digital twin

Create a robot path using RoboDK's intuitive user interface:

  • Program your robots like a CNC machine: Load NC files such as APT or G-code for robot machining
  • Simplified workflow through CAD/CAM software Add-ins for SolidWorks, Autodesk (Fusion 360, Inventor, FeatureCAM), Mastercam, Solid Edge, Rhino, Hexagon (Alphacam, WorkNC), TopSolid and more.
  • Automatically generate error-free paths
  • Automatically avoid singularities, axis limits and collisions with your robot simulations

Generate robot programs offline with just two clicks:
  • More than 120 post processors to support over 80 robot manufacturers, including Comau, Kawasaki, Mecademic, Omron, Stäubli and more
  • No programming experience is required
  • Easily modify your program sequence using RoboDK's intuitive interface

Key Benefits of Using RoboDK

Access a library of over 1200 industrial robot arms from 80 leading robot manufacturers, including ABB, Fanuc, KUKA, Yaskawa/Motoman, Universal Robots, and Omron. Quickly choose and compare robotic arms, components, add-ins, post-processors, and ready-to-use stations to get started within minutes.

Use RoboDK's CAD/CAM plugins compatible with industry-leading software such as SolidWorks, Siemens Solid Edge, Mastercam, Rhino, Inventor, FeatureCAM, Fusion 360, hyperMILL, and BobCAD-CAM and eliminate the need of learning new software.

RoboDK offers a user-friendly interface suitable for both beginners and experts. Generate robot programs within a single and intuitive simulation environment without extensive training, allowing you to focus on optimizing robot tasks rather than navigating complex software.

Maximize your return on investment (ROI) with RoboDK, one of the most cost-effective software solutions on the market, making robotics accessible to everyone while providing top features and regular updates.

Use RoboDK to find the best paths that minimize cycle times. Conduct reachability analysis to ensure all tasks are within operational reach.

Boost productivity and minimize production downtime by programming your robots offline. With RoboDK you can quickly convert complex trajectories into ready-to-use robot programs directly from your computer without using any hardware.

Use RoboDK on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Collaborate and share projects through our RoboDK for Web (cloud) platform.

Simulate and control multi-robot cells from different brands. Coordinate tasks between different robots to handle complex operations efficiently.

Enhance client engagement by using RoboDK's virtual reality and augmented reality features. Experience immersive 3D simulations and real-time digital overlays to visualize and interact with your robot cells more effectively.

Create error-free robot programs (e.g. syntax or wrong coordinates) by testing them prior to on-site implementation.

Access RoboDK's free training resources including a complete online documentation and over 260 tutorial videos through its YouTube channel without any additional training costs, accelerating project development and implementation.
