About
About Augmentus
Augmentus Standard generates collision-checked robot paths after an operator selects surfaces, edges or patterns in a CAD model or scan. It simulates reachability and motion before exporting native programs for several industrial robot brands. The process is aimed at tasks such as sanding, polishing, deburring, coating and welding where part variants make manual path teaching expensive.
Augmentus Pro adds 3D scanning hardware and alignment software so motion can adapt to the actual position or shape of a workpiece. The company supports deployment on existing cells as well as new installations, with offices in Singapore and Texas. It offers a software trial and separate sales-led Pro deployment.
