About
About RoboDK
RoboDK turns CAD geometry and manufacturing toolpaths into programmes for specific robot controllers. Users assemble a virtual cell from robot, tool and equipment models, check reach, joint limits, singularities and collisions, then generate controller code through post-processors. External axes can be included when a robot's working envelope needs extending.
The same workflow supports machining, welding, dispensing and additive manufacturing, including conversion of CNC toolpaths into robot motion. CAD/CAM integrations and an add-in marketplace connect it with engineering software, while Python, C# and C++ APIs let integrators build custom programming tools. Calibration products help align the simulated cell with the physical robot before production.
Team
- Albert Nubiola - Founder and CEO - Nubiola founded RoboDK from work originating at the CoRo laboratory at ÉTS Montréal and leads its robot-simulation and offline-programming business.
- Raphael Voyer - Tech Lead - Voyer supports technical development for RoboDK's robot simulation and offline programming software.
Timeline
Events
- 2026-09-16 - Demonstration - RoboDK supports Access e.V. aerospace inspection demonstrator
The demonstrator combined a Rainbow Robotics RB5-850 arm, RoboDK programming and AI-assisted aircraft-component inspection documentation. Documented results were roughly one-third less documentation time and about four additional effective work hours per day. The evidence describes a technical demonstrator, not a production deployment or fleet-scale operating claim.

The live setup used a Mecademic robot to execute CAD-to-robot machining toolpaths. A second task showed automatic collision-free motion planning for constrained pick-and-place. The demo supported the RoboDK CAM launch but was a staged workflow demonstration rather than a customer deployment.
Source - 2026-03-10 - Product Launch - RoboDK releases bridge for NVIDIA Isaac Sim
The bridge synchronizes robot motion and transfers meshes between RoboDK and Isaac Sim. Users can export collision-free paths generated with RRT planning and produce executable robot programmes. The integration is designed to carry simulated workflows toward physical robot control while keeping the environments distinct.
Source - 2026-02-18 - Product Launch - RoboDK launches integrated CAM software
The software is available as a standalone CAM environment and as an integrated RoboDK workflow. Supported processes include milling, drilling, deburring, cutting and additive manufacturing. Early testers reduced deployment time by up to 40% in company-reported results; this is not an independently benchmarked guarantee.
Source - 2025-09-01 - Product Launch - RoboDK launches Academy training platform
Courses combine tutorials, video walkthroughs and hands-on RoboDK projects. The training covers industrial robot simulation and programming workflows for learners and practitioners. Academy broadens RoboDK's education surface without changing the licensing status of the commercial desktop platform.
Source - 2024-06-20 - Partnership - RoboDK and KEBA connect offline programming with KeMotion
The workflow generates KAIRO robot programmes from RoboDK projects. Users can transfer generated programmes to KEBA controllers from the programming environment. The integration also exposes real-time controller monitoring for commissioning and operation.
Source - 2024-03-06 - Partnership - RoboDK integrates with Comau RoboShop Next Gen
The integration adds CAD-to-path programming for Comau robot applications. The combined workflow supports collision checking and external axes within realistic simulation. Comau users can move from virtual cell preparation toward controller-ready robot programmes through the joint software path.
Source - 2023-11-20 - Product Launch - RoboDK launches TwinBox production integration system
TwinBox can run on industrial PCs or single-board computers and manage multiple robots and devices. The system exposes browser-based remote control for production users and integrators. RoboDK positioned TwinBox as a bridge between offline programming, cell control and shop-floor deployment.
Source - 2022-02-22 - Product Launch - RoboDK releases web version for integrator sales demos
RoboDK released a web version of its robot programming and simulation software for browser-based demos and education use. The company said the web release needed no license and provided a portable, simplified interface. RoboDK positioned the release for sales representatives, new robot users and educational use cases.
