Featured questions
The designer creates artwork in eDesigner and prepares tufting paths with Robotuft Add-on. The operator loads the resulting job into eHMI, sets the supported production parameters and supervises eTuft as it manufactures the carpet. The exact workflow depends on the installed software and machine configuration.
A fully functional one-month trial is available at EUR 250 for eDesigner and EUR 350 for Robotuft Add-on editions. Contact EFAB to confirm the selected edition, applicable taxes, delivery arrangements and current terms before starting the evaluation.
Robotuft Add-on addresses the path geometry and production preparation required by robotic tufting. It combines vectorization, dedicated filling strategies, path editing, movement optimization and production estimates rather than stopping at the visual artwork.
eHMI supports a single-file transfer workflow, with relevant machine codes generated at the control unit. USB and network support are available. EFAB should confirm the accepted file type and transfer procedure for your controller version.
