RoboDK, from a small company based in Montreal, is offline programming aimed at people who own real industrial arms. The online library holds well over a thousand robot models from dozens of brands, and post processors generate native code for ABB RAPID, KUKA KRL, FANUC LS, Universal Robots and many more. Robot machining, welding paths, palletising and 3D printing come as guided workflows, and the Python API drives the simulator from a script. A 30 day trial runs without limits.
Licensing is plain by industry standards: an educational licence costs 145 dollars a year with a university email, professional licences are perpetual and include the first year of maintenance, renewed separately later. It suits integrators and small shops that want a program on the controller this week. It is not a physics simulator, so grasping, part deformation and cable behaviour stay outside its scope.
