See more. Know more. Do more

Advanced 3D visualization

Experience your projects from every angle with all-new, detailed 3D views. MaxQ 3.0 displays original toolpaths, projected toolpaths, and surface meshes side by side, so you can monitor your print job in real-time as well as review historical data. Pose projection has never been clearer.

Refined user experience

MaxQ 3.0 brings a range of upgrades designed for everyday convenience:

• Improved robot model rendering
  Watch your machine come to life with smoother, more accurate visuals.
• Dynamic live graphs
  Dive into real-time metrics of your print job with faster updates and clearer data insights.
• Session history & quick actions
  Hop into historical print job sessions anytime- review them in 3D or jump to the reporting page in a single click.
• In-place file editing
  Need to adjust a program on the fly? View and edit each file’s contents right within MaxQ 3.0 app.
• Enhanced file uploads
  Get precise, reassuring feedback on your file upload progress to stay informed every step of the way.

Progress at a glance

Keep tabs on every phase of your print job with the enhanced progress overview- now seamlessly integrated into the 3D visualization page. Whether you choose to re-run, skip, or partially execute a stage, it’s all reflected instantly in the progress panel. That means better oversight, better reporting, and total confidence from start to finish.

Fine-grained progress tracking

Every layer, section, and process is now meticulously monitored and logged, giving you a crystal-clear view of how much has been printed and what’s left in the queue. Dive into live process parameters for each running stage and get detailed stage-by-stage statistics:

• Current and voltage: Average welding current and voltage
• Temperature control: Start temperature, end temperature, and cooling time
• Pose projection: Minimum, maximum, and average projection distances

New features:

Start prints at any stage

Need to pick up exactly where you left off? MaxQ 3.0 now lets you start a print job at a specific stage. Reprint or skip stages at will, with total confidence that you’re picking the correct spot. This new flexibility means smoother workflows, less downtime, and more control over your print jobs.

Intelligent halt handling

All other halt buttons now trigger a wait-for-variable instead of an error. This allows you to resume execution directly from MaxQ.

Enhanced surface reconstruction

When external manipulators come into play during welding, MaxQ 3.0’s improved surface reconstruction algorithms ensure more accurate, dependable results. It’s another leap forward in delivering consistently high-quality prints from start to finish.

Enhanced operator event feedback

Keep your systems in perfect tune with improved event text formatting for calibration. It’s now easier than ever to confirm that your machine is properly configured before launching a major print, ensuring optimal results and fewer issues down the line.

Refined event log controls

Filter by event type or event level to quickly navigate the improved event log on your MaxQ app dashboard. Zero in on critical errors or isolate calibration events in an instant- no more sifting through a flood of logs to find what matters most.

Responsive robot halting (Panasonic robots)

A new halting interface triggers a hold input instead of an error input- providing a gentler, more controlled stop. When paused mid-weld, the robot first finishes its “arc end” program before coming to rest. (Note: A hardware upgrade may be required.)

Automatic report generation

Document your entire print job seamlessly with autogenerated .docx and .pdf reports. Choose precisely which parameters to include, and instantly create comprehensive summaries of each job for smoother record-keeping and analysis.

Downloadable parameter graphs

Dive into the granular details with layer-specific or section-specific graphs (current, voltage, wire feed speed, and feed motor current) available for download at any time. Add these visuals directly into your generated report, or keep them on file for further review.
