In the world of metal fabrication and precision manufacturing, operational efficiency and data integration make the difference between simply carrying out production and a truly profitable process. Very often, in fact, the real bottleneck is not the machine itself, but the fragmented flow of information between the design office and the production department.

To demonstrate how an integrated software architecture can overcome these operational limitations simply and effectively, Libellula will be taking part in the upcoming World Machinery Open House, scheduled for 1 and 2 July, from the 9.00 am to 5.00 pm.

A leading international event, designed to enable industry professionals to discover our software ecosystem, which has been developed to digitise and connect the entire production process.

Rather than viewing software as a stand-alone tool, Libellula’s strategy has evolved towards an approach that is entirely focused on MES. At our demo stations, visitors will be able to discover how a single, seamless architecture can link all the company’s operational stages.

In just a few steps, we’ll show you how to:

• • Optimising production times, eliminating the need for manual adjustments to the nesting and cutting layouts.

• • Connecting all departments, creating a continuous flow of data between intelligent order management, the import of 3D CAD models and the company’s existing ERP system.

• • Gaining full control of production, thanks to real-time monitoring and automated reporting, thereby eliminating uncertainties in day-to-day operations.

The solutions taking centre stage at the event

Over the course of the two days, our technicians will be conducting practical, in-depth demonstrations focusing on the main Libellula product ranges, designed for cutting flat sheet metal and processing tubes.

Libellula.CUT

Designed specifically for cutting flat sheet metal, Libellula.CUT enables you to get the most out of your material. During the demonstrations, we will show how our advanced nesting algorithms automatically optimise sheet metal utilisation, simplify scrap management and drastically reduce programming times, providing the machine with ready-to-use cutting data directly.

Cherasco, 15 June 2026 – Libellula Srl, an Italian software company specialising in the development of software for sheet metal working, is proud to announce that it has obtained the Gender Equality Certification in accordance with the UNI/PdR 125:2022 standard, issued by Bureau Veritas, one of the most authoritative certification bodies at international level. 

This recognition is the result of an organisational process involving various departments within the company, which has transformed a cultural principle into concrete policies, tools and indicators to promote equity, inclusion and the empowerment of people. 

For Libellula, gender equality is not merely a regulatory objective, but an integral part of the company’s broader vision: innovating technology whilst keeping people at the heart of it all. 

Gender equality certification: what does it mean for Libellula? 

Practice-based certification UNI/PdR 125:2022 introduces a system of indicators that enables organisations to measure and improve their equity and inclusion policies over time. 

The aspects analysed include: 

• equal opportunities in career progression and professional development 

• transparency in recruitment processes and remuneration policies 

• support for parenting and work-life balance 

• promoting an inclusive corporate culture 

• continuous monitoring using KPIs and improvement targets 

 
In a sector such as industrial software and technology manufacturing, historically characterised by a strong male predominance, promoting concrete policies on gender equality is a crucial step towards creating more inclusive workplaces that are able to fully harness the talents of every individual.

A journey shaped by the involvement of people 

One of the key elements of the project was the creation of a Steering Committee for Gender Equality, comprising people from various departments within the company. 

The committee was tasked with overseeing the entire certification process, setting out policies, objectives and monitoring tools designed to ensure that organisational practices increasingly transparent, inclusive and focused on continuous improvement. 

This work has also led to the development of internal training and awareness-raising initiatives, with the aim of strengthening a corporate culture based on respect, collaboration and shared responsibility. 

«»Gender equality certification represents an important step in our journey towards organisational growth" – he says Eleonora Alessandria, HR Manager at Libellula and Chair of the Steering Committee for Gender Equality. 

«»It means organising practices that affect people in an even more thoughtful way, recognising talent and creating the conditions for everyone to contribute to the company’s development.’. 

Technological innovation and corporate culture 

In the field of industrial software for sheet metal working, Libellula is internationally recognised for developing advanced CAD/CAM solutions designed to manage cutting processes. 

Alongside technological innovation, the company has chosen over the years to invest in an organisational culture that prioritises people’s wellbeing, through corporate welfare initiatives, flexible working arrangements and projects aimed at improving quality of life in the workplace. 

These include initiatives such as Mind The Break, parenting support programmes and community partnership projects, such as our contribution to the creation of the new public nursery school in Roreto di Cherasco. 

Obtaining gender equality certification is therefore part of a broader process that combines technological innovation, social responsibility and a focus on the human aspect of work. 

A commitment that looks to the future 

For Libellula, certification is, above all, a long-term commitment. 

Promoting gender equality means creating fairer and more sustainable working environments, in which diversity and a variety of perspectives become drivers of growth and innovation. 

«We believe that a company’s value is not measured solely by its technological achievements, but also by its ability to create inclusive and respectful working environments» – he says Alberto Milanesio, General Manager of Libellula. «This recognition reinforces our commitment to continuing to grow as an organisation, putting people and the values that guide our work at the heart of everything we do.». 

Upon obtaining the Gender Equality Certification, Libellula reaffirms its commitment to being not only a leading player in the manufacturing software sector, but also a company capable of combining innovation, inclusion and social responsibility, helping to build a fairer and more sustainable future for work.

In the world of carpentry and sheet metal working, efficiency and precision make the difference between a standard process and a truly competitive one. Libellula.BEND, the Dedicated CAM for offline programming of CNC press brakes, was created with precisely this goal in mind: to transform a 3D or 2D model into a ready-to-run machine programme, quickly, safely and optimised on the actual tooling.

Thanks to the import of the main CAD formats and the development calculation based on the tools actually used, the software automatically identifies the best folding sequences, generates documentation for the workshop and produces folding programmes ready to use, all within a simulated and controlled 3D environment.

Today Libellula.BEND evolves further with new features designed to make programming even more automatic, flexible and integrated with the latest technologies.

From support for the latest versions of 3D files at new algorithms for calculating tool set-ups, until improved performance in Batch & Remote modeEach update has been developed to reduce time, increase accuracy and simplify daily work in the technical office and workshop.

---

2. Unfold

- Etching and Engraving: 

The support for engraving and marking has been significantly improved.

Not only the detection of these features, but also the output in DXF files is now fully configurable.

Using correct layers and line types, 2D CAM software can automatically handle these machining operations by applying the appropriate technology.

Depending on which side of the sheet metal the part is developed on, these features may or may not be visible in the 2D window of the developed plane.

They will always be visible in the 3D views and DXF files generated.

The requirements for engraving and marking can be found in the guide below:

Technical Information - Model Conditions - Etching/Engraving

- Automatic tool application

With Unfold Pro, tools can now be automatically applied to the workpiece to generate the correct developed plan.

Previously, tools had to be selected manually; now it is possible to automate the process by defining preferred tools for any combination of material and thickness.

The settings can be found in:

Options - Unfold - Apply Tools

Only available with licence Unfold Pro.

If BendSim/BendSim Pro is used, the settings are defined for each machine in Machine Settings.

- Improved detection of hole chamfers on both sides

Holes with chamfers on both sides of the sheet metal are now detected and correctly reported in the DXF file.

Previously, a chamfer on only one side per hole was permitted.

---

3. BendSim

- Further improvement of cycle time calculation

The function for calculating handling times during bending has been improved with new configuration possibilities for greater accuracy.

The improvement is particularly noticeable when working with a wide range of thicknesses, for which settings for multiple thickness ranges can now be defined.

The settings can be found in the Handling of Machine Settings and use the thickness intervals defined in the Material Settings.

- New algorithms for calculating tool set-ups

The tool set-up calculation functions have been completely rewritten.

This allows:

• Better set-ups
• Smarter
• Faster

It also allows for future developments with additional functionality.

With the new algorithms, set-ups may be slightly different than in the past in order to:

• Reducing tooling times
• Simplify part bending

- Workpiece positioning settings per machine

Positioning settings (which side of the workpiece should be towards the inside of the machine) can now be defined on a per-machine basis and not just at a general level.

Especially useful when using machines with very different characteristics.

- Direct support for Cybelec CybTouch controller

Control Cybelec CybTouch has been supported by Libellula.BEND for some time, but until now it was necessary to use a converter to obtain the correct format.

Now this is no longer necessary: CybTouch programmes can be generated directly from Libellula.BEND.

CybTouch control is selectable in the list of NC outputs available in the Machine Settings.

- Holder for LVD Easy-Form® Laser angle measuring system

Libellula.BEND can now programme the angle measurement system LVD Easy-Form® Laser.

The measurement can be programmed automatically or manually, and programmes sent to the Touch-B control will include all the information required to use this functionality.

---

4. Batch & Remote

- Multi-processing of parts

Major improvements in processing speed have been introduced when using multiple parts with Batch & Remote.

Parts are now processed simultaneously, optimising the use of available hardware resources.

The number of parts processed simultaneously depends on the available hardware, so the level of improvement may vary.

Savings of up to 70% in processing time were found in the tests.

The multi-processing function is only available with licences E-license.

USB licences do not support multi-processing.

---

Find out in detail what is new in the first version 2026:

1. CAD/CAM Automation & Import

- DXF rules in OneClick: Libellula.CUT

Faster import into 2D CAD of Libellula.CUT thanks to the possibility of applying specific automatic recognition rules for material, thickness and job directly from texts in DXFs.

In particular, it is possible to associate

• • Name of piece

• • Material

• • Thickness

• • Saleswoman

• • Quantity

• • Production Order

• • Delivery date

ADVANTAGES

• • Increased import speed
  • Automatic creation of icons in the CAD/CAM order form Libellula.CUT

 

 

- Cleaning function: Libellula.CUT

A preliminary phase with a defocused laser to remove oxidation and impurities, ensuring a more accurate and stable cut.

ADVANTAGES
This preliminary step allows a more accurate thickness measurement and cut and
stable, avoiding anomalies during the attachment phase and preventing the formation of unwanted holes. In addition,
ensuring uniform surface conditions, cutting parameters remain constant and do not require continuous
adjustments, ensuring greater process repeatability and stability.

 

- Blind drilling: Libellula.CUT

New management for aesthetically intact and ready-to-assemble parts without nuts. Applies non-passing round holes to an icon at a configurable depth.

 

ADVANTAGES

• • Structure - the piece, having one of the two sides of the hole intact, is stronger;

• • Aesthetics - the surface of the workpiece remains intact and without visible holes, making it preferable in
    visible applications;

 

• • Assembly - the bottom of the blind hole acts as a fixing point for the screws, eliminating the need to have a nut on the opposite side.

 

- Master column in the Work Library: mod.ROUTING

The management of repetitive nesting of the mod.ORDER has been evolved, insendo, the management of a MASTER option.
The Master column allows you to select a specific Job as “repetitive” to speed up the search in
duplication phase.

ADVANTAGES:

It is now possible to filter within the “Existing Similar Jobs” search of the mod.ORDER, and display
only works marked Master.

---

2. Intelligent Warehouse Management

- Marking on Scrap: Libellula.CUT

Coding of scrap without paper labels, with the possibility of deciding whether to mark it for re-use. It is possible to mark different information: the identification code, the code of the parent sheet, the
x and y dimensions, material, thickness.

ADVANTAGES
The scrap is coded, without the use of prints and labels stuck on it, recognising it with
facility. It is also possible to decide where to mark the defined text.

 

- Opening and Editing Scrap in CAD: Libellula.CUT

Possibility of aligning the theoretical scrap geometry with the actual geometry (e.g. after malfunctions or workpiece shifts). When plasma or oxyfuel (OXY) cutting is performed on thick materials, it can happen that the residual skeleton generated is altered for various reasons:

• • When cutting with several torches, it may happen that one of them malfunctions and the position
    of the pieces moves by a few millimetres.

• • A workpiece may not be cut correctly in the plasma and the machine operators reposition it
    on the sheet, thus modifying the residue.

• • To facilitate lifting with the crane, parts of the skeleton are removed, altering the
    further configuration.

ADVANTAGES
It can therefore frequently happen that the theoretical geometry does not correspond to the actual geometry, and therefore the
scrap must be redesigned or modified.

 

- Quantity cast in the warehouse: mod.STORAGE

Identification of the committed quantity detail on the individual casting via the “Engaged” column.

---

3. Operational Efficiency and Integration

- Organise several cutting machines: mod.MULTIMACHINE

• • New “Force lead-in recalculation” option within the MULTIMACHINE mod. to faithfully replicate the master configuration on additional machines.

ADVANTAGES

• • Best performance - It allows the faithful replication of a technological configuration applied to a
    sheet metal.

• • Increased speed - Avoids recalculation of bindings and dimensions, speeding up the generation of
    machine programmes in MULTIMACHINE mod.

• • Greater flexibility - This configuration can be activated or not, depending on the operator's needs

• • New unified view in the mod.MANAGER (production queue management module) to display all machines within the same view on a single screen.

ADVANTAGES
This allows centralised and immediate control of the active configuration, facilitating the
loading and handling of machines.
In addition, the unified visualisation reduces the risk of operational errors, improves work organisation and optimises setup times, increasing the overall efficiency of the production process.

 

- Parallel Bevel & Micro Bevel Joints: Libellula.CUT

• • Support for parallel bevel, i.e. bevel machining that needs to keep the rotation of the head axis locked.

 

ADVANTAGES
This makes it possible to drill holes into which bars not perpendicular to the plane can be inserted

• • Editing microjunctions on Bevel profiles within the configuration settings:

- Inkjet printer management: Libellula.CUT

Inkjet printers allow text to be applied to the icon, which will not be
marked but printed with inkjet technology.

• • Inkjet printer management in CAD:

- Nanojoint also on Libellula.WIZARD

Nanojoint management was also introduced on Libellula.WIZARD.

 

4. Orders & Linking ERP - CAM - external software

- Order display via “Order” column: Libellula.VISIO

• • New ‘order’ column within the tables of available and queued jobs within the onboard system Libellula.VISIO to also see the associated order.

In the case of nesting containing parts with different orders, all orders will be shown in the “Order” column.

 

- Geometry import and PNG shapshoot generation: mod.BRIDGE

The new features allow

• • import tubular geometries via mod.BRIDGE, represented in different formats (e.g. step and dstv)

• • import 2D geometries via DSTV format (for drivers D018, D019, D020, D021)

• • The function of generating png snapshots via mod.BRIDGE is now updated with the flexibility to choose the format, size and destination path for all available snapshots.

---

5. CNC Files & Automatic Recognition Bending

- Generate CNC files from Libellula.BEND

A configuration has been added on mod.BRIDGE to be able to also generate cnc files from Libellula.BEND via the link module by setting the BEND unfold to stepsystemwatcher and csvsystemwatcher.

ADVANTAGES
In this way, it is possible not to stop at the explanation of the piece, but to also have all the files
which are normally generated by Libellula.BEND (e.g. fold files, fold reports, etc.).

 

- Automatic part creation in the Library with DXF file recognition: Libellula.BEND

An automatism was introduced that allows automatic recognition of parts created with the Libellula.BEND bending software.

After processing a folding process, performed directly via Libellula.BEND or
through the Bath&Remote automatism, the software is now able to automatically create pieces in the
library, recognising the DXF file generated by Libellula.BEND and associating the material and thickness
corresponding.

ADVANTAGES:
Speeding up the creation of parts in the library, avoiding double manual data entry.

In Libellula Srl, a company active in the development of solutions for the digitisation of business processes, This approach translates into a structured set of initiatives that support people not only in their professional dimension, but also in managing their work-life balance.

On the occasion of the 1 May, this vision invites reflection on what makes work truly sustainable, evolutionary and shared.

Continuous training in the company: a lever for growth

La in-company training is one of the central elements in competence development.

In Libellula, training courses take place during working hours and include:

• technical training on sector skills
• paths related to artificial intelligence and digital transformation of industry
• language courses
• development of soft skills

In the recent two-year period, these activities exceeded the 5,600 training hours, amounting to over 700 working days.

Training is therefore not an ancillary activity, but an ongoing process that accompanies the evolution of the company and its people.

Work-life balance and corporate welfare in the metal sector

The work-life balance in the company is one of the most relevant levers for organisational well-being today.

For this, Libellula introduced concrete tools to corporate welfare in the metal sector, including:

• up to 2 smart working days per week
• flexible entry and exit times
• 1 additional day off in the birthday month
• 20 extra days of holiday for every 5 years of stay

These measures are complemented by welfare systems that allow flexible use of the benefits provided by the CCNL Metalmeccanico.

It is also in this perspective that MindTheBreak, an internal initiative that promotes moments of pause and sharing, helping to improve the corporate climate.

Health and protection: an integrated system

The corporate welfare also involves the protection of health.

In Libellula, this translates into an integrated system that combines:

• the health fund MetaHealth
• supplementary health cover through Aon

This approach makes it possible to widen access to health services and strengthen people's overall safety.

Gender equality and inclusion in companies

A sustainable working environment is also a fair environment.

The path of gender equality in business is based on concrete and monitorable actions:

• focus on growth paths
• wage and opportunity analysis
• promotion of an inclusive culture
• listening and reporting tools

The aim is to ensure conditions in which each person can actively contribute in a transparent and respectful environment.

Relationships and responsibility: the value of people

The value of work is also built through relationships.

The initiatives promoted - from anonymous satisfaction surveys to parental support and involvement in local activities - reflect a vision in which the company is an active part of a larger system.

In this sense, the sustainable work is not just an organisational issue, but a cultural one.

Innovation and sustainable work: a model for the future

Underlying this model is a clear principle: success comes from the interaction between skills, technology and people.

Therefore, in Libellula, innovation, continuous training, corporate welfare and inclusion converge in a single objective: to build a sustainable working environment over time.

In a context of digital transformation of industry, the value of work is increasingly measured in its ability to evolve, collaborate and generate impact.

And it is in this direction that Libellula Srl continues to work, every day.

Yet, in many workshops, these steps still take place in a disorganised manner: Excel sheets, voice communication, disconnected data flows between the technical department and production.

Libellula.JOBSHOP TUBE was created to bring digital continuity to the entire tubular processing cycle, from initial quotation to real-time production data return, via CAD/CAM programming and intelligent job queue management on the shop floor.

All this is possible thanks to a modular suite designed to adapt to different production realities, where tube cutting is an integral part of the production process and where that phase deserves the same digital attention as flat cutting or bending.

Libellula elaborated the 4-step flow for the digital management of tubulars from quotation to real-time progress management:

STEP 1 - Estimating Tubulars and Assemblies

STEP 2 - Digital management of the pipe order

STEP 3 - CAD/CAM programming for tube cutting

STEP 4 - On-machine real-time progress management system

STEP 1 - Estimating Tubulars and Assemblies

The production flow for the tube begins with the need to calculate the cost of the work to be done, often before we even have the final files, starting from 3D models or customer requirements that are still evolving.

The result is an economic estimate built on the actual data of their plants: the starting point for quickly responding to the customer with a correct calculation of margins.

STEP 2 - Digital management of the pipe order

Once the order is confirmed, work enters the order management phase. It is here that the first losses of efficiency often occur: untracked parts, verbally transmitted information, lack of visibility on progress.

Within Libellula.TUBE, the order module transforms the management of each machining operation into a digital and structured process, collecting and organising all tubular parts to be cut in a single interface.

In addition, Libellula.TUBE can dialogue directly with your corporate ERP with mod.BRIDGE: data are synchronised in real time, eliminating the need to enter them manually twice and ensuring a consistently accurate flow of information.

Operators may:

- Organising production through dedicated filters

- Monitor the progress of individual parts to be produced or manufactured in real time thanks to the interconnection with the Libellula.VISIO system installed on the machine.

The order thus becomes the thread running through the entire process: all information from the customer to the delivery date and quantity travels throughout the production cycle.

STEP 3 - CAD/CAM programming for tube cutting

With the order organised, we move on to the most technical phase: the programming of the tube cutting equipment.

Libellula.TUBE is Libellula's CAD/CAM specifically dedicated to the programming of laser tube cutting systems, available for both round and closed section tubes.

The integrated parametric CAD allows the creation of tube parts without the need for advanced 3D design skills according to Libellula's Zero Training philosophy, for immediate use even by non-expert operators.

To complete the solution, a series of modules are available to cover the most advanced requirements:

- mod.BEAM: for parametric CAD design and programming of open sections (L, U, C, IPE, UNP)

- mod.6th AXIS TUBE: for handling machines with tilting tilting head, for performing bevel and chipping cuts

- Mod.DSTV for Libellula.TUBE: for importing 3D DSTV files in .nc and .nc1 format

At the technology application stage, the mod.NESTING TUBE which allows the creation of automatic or semi-automatic nesting on tubular bars, with 3D cutting simulation and automatic creation of the machine programme (OSR).

STEP 4 - On-board system: real-time management of work progress

Having generated the machine programmes and built the work queue, the process moves to the workshop. And it is here that the difference between a connected and an integrated system becomes most obvious.

Libellula.VISIO is Libellula's on-board MES system, designed to provide real-time production control.

With Libellula.VISIO, operators can:

- View and manage the job queue directly from the plant

- Estimating processing times and monitoring their progress

- Real-time communication with the technical department

- Declare faulty parts during production, stating the reason for them

- Printing labels and production reports

The connection with the plant CNC is via the mod.LiveSync, which supports the most advanced communication standards: text files (.xml, .csv), WebService, OPC/UA, IPC/IP and SQL databases.

This means that every event on the shop floor - start of work, end of machining, rejected part - is immediately visible to the technical department, closing the information circle between programming and production.

In this way, when an operator declares a defective part via Libellula.VISIO, the information is automatically transmitted to the order module in CAD/CAM, which processes it and arranges for the discarded part to be re-cut without the need for manual re-entry of data, risk of errors or loss of time.

A complete production flow, even for tubulars

Libellula.JOBSHOP TUBE brings to tube cutting the same level of digital integration that Libellula has developed for flatbed cutting: a consistent, traceable, connected flow from the engineering department to the machine.

Concrete benefits for your company:

- Accurate and fast quotation: estimation of pipe cutting costs based on the actual technology tables of the plant.

- Structured job managementall tubular parts organised, tracked and linked to their production progress.

- Advanced CAD/CAM programmingfrom single tubular to complex assemblies, with automatic nesting and cutting path optimisation

- Visibility on CNC in the workshopreal-time visibility of every job, with immediate feedback and declaration of non-conforming parts.

- Automatic data returnRejected parts re-enter the system without manual re-insertion, eliminating errors and inefficiencies.

Libellula.Jobshop Tube is modular and scalable: each company can adopt the components best suited to its reality and evolve the solution over time, progressively integrating new functionalities.
