The rock decides nothing. You do.
Software for the people who break rock. Fast, offline tools that stay out of your way. BlastCAD and TiePlan are where we started, with more on the way.
- Where
- Perth, Western Australia
- Runs
- In your browser, offline
We build like people who have been on the bench.
Born on site
Built by people who have walked the pattern, open pit and underground, not just read about it.
Works offline
Reception is never a given on a mine site. The tools open and run without a connection.
No bloat
You open it and it does the job. Nothing to fight through, nothing you did not ask for.
Two tools, both earning their place.
This is where we started. Each one does a real job for a drill and blast crew.
Design the pattern, then see it. Fragmentation, vibration, flyrock and timing scatter, modelled as you work.
Turns drill data into a tied up blast pack, ready to print. It takes your export and remembers how you map it.
More is coming. We build for the mining world, and the list is growing.
It starts from the data you already run.
Bring your design and survey straight in, work in 3D, and keep it all in the browser. These are the formats it reads today.
Deswik
AutoCAD
Datamine
Surpac
Sandvik
EpirocIt also reads LandXML surfaces, LAS point clouds, IREDES rig files from Sandvik and Epiroc, and any CSV with your mapping remembered. Everything runs offline once it is open.
For the people who plan the shot.
Open pit and underground. The engineers who lay out the pattern, tie the holes, and stand by the result.
Still early, and we like it that way. We would rather be judged by the blast than by a wall of logos.
Questions, answered straight.
What is ORE2B?expand_more
We are a small team in Perth making drill and blast tools for underground and open pit mines. Right now that is BlastCAD and TiePlan, with more on the way.
Is BlastCAD free?expand_more
Yes, while it is in public beta. There will be paid plans for commercial use later on, and we will post the pricing before anyone gets charged.
Do they work without internet?expand_more
Yes. BlastCAD can be installed as an app and opened offline, and TiePlan runs fully offline.
What file formats can I import?expand_more
BlastCAD reads Deswik CSV, Datamine .dm, Surpac .str and .dtm, AutoCAD DXF, and IREDES XML from Sandvik and Epiroc rigs. It also takes LandXML surfaces and LAS point clouds. TiePlan takes Deswik exports or any CSV, and it remembers your column mapping.
Do you store my mine data?expand_more
Not your blast designs. BlastCAD keeps those in your browser and in the project files you save. Only account details and equipment templates are stored on our server.
