What is Pitagora and what is its main advantage?

It is the CAM software and 3D simulator developed by Bacci specifically for its multi-axis machining centers. By natively integrating with the hardware, it automatically optimizes toolpaths and tool changes, reducing idle times and increasing daily productivity compared to generic commercial CAMs.

Can I use Pitagora with the files and software I already use in my company?

Yes, Pitagora is an open system. It allows you to import both 3D geometries in the most common standard formats (such as STEP, IGES, DXF) and external ISO codes generated by other CAD/CAM software, allowing you to then apply Bacci's exclusive optimization and anti-collision features.

How does the integrated anti-collision control work?

The software virtually simulates the machine's behavior in real time (including heads, tools, and TGV tables) before the actual startup. It automatically detects any risk of impact between the graphic components and warns the operator, zeroing the risk of damage on the shop floor.

Pitagora is an advanced programming software that, through 3D graphic simulation, allows users to verify the correct execution of a job before transferring the program to the machine.
In this way, errors can be corrected in advance and tool paths optimized to minimize cycle times.

Pitagora proves particularly useful for programming dual-head machines, which perform longer and more complex sequences of movements and operations.

SIMPLICITY, EFFICIENCY, VERSATILITY

FOR OVER 20 YEARS, WE HAVE INTRODUCED PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE DESIGNED TO SIMPLIFY AND ACCELERATE THE PROGRAMMING OF OUR MACHINING CENTERS, EVEN FOR USERS WITH NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE.

THE DRASTIC REDUCTION IN PRODUCTION BATCH SIZES HAS DRIVEN US TO DEVELOP INCREASINGLY INTUITIVE AND AUTOMATED PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE, MAKING OUR MACHINES AMONG THE MOST PRODUCTIVE, VERSATILE, AND USER-FRIENDLY ON THE MARKET.

3D SIMULATION

Pitagora performs a 3D simulation that includes all relevant elements, such as the machine itself, clamping devices, and the reference model. Every movement and machining operation planned in the cycle is represented in three dimensions, allowing the work program and project feasibility to be verified in advance.

ERROR PREVENTION

The work cycle simulation makes it possible to verify the accuracy of the programming and ensure the complete absence of errors. Pitagora is particularly useful in preventing incorrect movements that could cause collisions, especially in dual-head machines, which are understandably more complex to manage.

TIME OPTIMIZATION

Through 3D cycle verification, the software not only detects errors and collisions but also optimizes toolpaths and transitions, eliminating any “stop & go” movements of the machine. This results in a significant reduction in the overall execution time of the work program.

SIMPLE AND INTUITIVE

The user-friendly interface enables operators to learn the main functions with just a few days of training. Customers can independently manage the software and start operating the CNC machining center in a short time. The Bacci Service Team supports customers throughout the entire learning process and during the start-up phase of programming.

PARAMETRIC FEATURES

Pitagora now integrates parametric management: it is possible to define variables and associate parameters with individual operations, allowing the entire program to be automatically modified safely and collision-free with a single click.
