Machining, mechanics and machinery: our passion, our history since 1947...
Type Edit
TYPE EDIT is the benchmark CAD/CAM software solution, dedicated to mechanical machining for 2D, 2.5D and 3D engraving, marking, cutting and artistic modeling.
TYPE EDIT offers you the widest choice of professional features for all your graphic creations on flat (2D) or complex (3D) surfaces. With its modern, intuitive interface, TYPE EDIT lets you customize your working environment according to your preferences, the type of application or the user.
TYPE EDIT's comprehensive set of functions and wizards enables you to carry out any creation, from design to machining, including tool selection, toolpath and NC simulation. We have been an authorized distributor of Gravotech software solutions since 2008, and use TYPE EDIT and LASER TYPE to control dozens of CNC milling and laser machines in a wide variety of sectors, including :
Point-of-sale displays, fixtures and fittings
Visual and graphic communication, sign manufacturing
Engravers, jewelers, watchmakers
Mechanical production, prototyping
Wood signage
Moulds, thermoforming
Features
TYPE EDIT software is built around 3 main modules:
TYPE CAD, TYPE CAM (2D and 2.5D) and TYPE ART (3D).
TYPE CAD module: Design, creation, preparation before machining
With its 100% vector module, TYPE EDIT software gives you a head start over your competitors by providing you with the highest creative precision in your drawings. Discover TYPE CAD and its many features, from geometric shapes to the point editor, while continuing with text editing and vector transformation. TYPE CAD is the #1 vector editor for CNC applications.

TYPE ART module: 3D modeling
With TYPE ART you can parametrically build 3D Bas-Reliefs from 2D files created in TYPE CAD or imported (DXF, EPS, DWG, IGS...). All the power you need to emboss or deboss your designs is brought together in this 3D package to create the most advanced engravings and sculptures for machining mold cavities, punches, 3D signage and much more.

TYPE CAM module: Toolpath creation, optimization and machine code generation
TYPE CAM and its main functions ensure a high level of precision and quality. Consistency is directly visible on your customers' products. With TYPE CAM's toolpaths generated via repeatable and archivable strategies, your machining operations are always one step ahead. Start with files imported directly into the TYPE CAD interface (TYPE EDIT's CAD module) and organize your production in multi-plane, multi-machine, multi-program mode for any CNC in your machine park.

Post processors
Our software is supplied with a standard base of 600 post-processors, enabling it to control most CNC machines on the market.
Of course, if your machine is not on the list (particularly in the case of special machines), we undertake to develop the post-processor to control your machine, integrating all the required functions (e.g. automatic tool changer, double table, multi-head, etc.).
We consider the installation to be complete as soon as you are autonomous in programming your machine with our software.
Training
We guarantee high-quality, customized training to help you optimize your investment. We offer dedicated training, based on your applications and needs, usually working on your part files. Training can take place on your site, in our workshops (machining is possible on our machine tools) or even remotely, online via screen sharing. Depending on your field of activity, training costs may be reimbursed by your parity organization. We can provide you with all the information you need to put together a request for reimbursement.
Technical support and personalized advice
Because we're also factory operators and day-to-day users of the software we sell, we provide you with personalized technical support so that you benefit from the absolute optimization of your solution. For immediate efficiency, we answer your questions by telephone, e-mail and, of course, by remote control of your computer.
Performance Pack
To support you and help you constantly improve your productivity, we offer a range of services including updates, special offers, ongoing online training, dedicated technical support, service contracts and much more.
