Intuitive Sheet Metal Profile Design in 3D

Discover the power of seamless production from idea to finished part is at your fingertips with this revolutionary multi-touch user interface. Select, draw and refine profiles within seconds or input your bending parameters directly in line-by-line mode to quickly start manufacturing.
It’s as easy as using a tablet!

• Quickly find your stored designs by searching or scrolling previews
• Easy switch from 2D to 3D with possibility to design directly in 3D
• Draw the profiles with your fingers or set parameters Line-by-Line.
• Quickly Save, Save As and Load profiles and customize thumbnails
• Create and name folders and sub-folders to stay fully organized
• Workbench keeps drawn profile in memory after power down
• Instantly switch the colored side of painted sheet metal parts
• Rotate and zoom view freely, in increments or align with axis
• Mirror profile and repeat pattern to speed up drawing process
• Measurements and angles clearly visible in 2D and 3D
• Drag-and-Drop and Snap-to-Grid functionality
• Extra smooth radius function
• Quickly undo and redo

Innovative Bending Optimization and Simulation

Efficiently set up your production process via the smart preparation mode that suggests an optimal bending sequence that can easily be modified further. A guided simulation will let you visualize and inspect the machine workspace and prevents errors through collision detection.
Manufacturing has never been easier!

• Use suggested bending order or quickly modify
• Bend line parameter values easily adjustable
• Dimensions on measure points displayed
• Free camera movement in machine space
• Collision detection and change of tool setup
• Toggle between different levels of visual detail
• Play, pause and go step-by-step through bending simulation
• Easy switch between 2D to 3D part and unfolded flat pattern view

Easy Management of Material and Tools

Ensure high quality results from the very first part through automatic material compensations instead of using trial-and-error to find the right settings. When running the machine operators are given step-by-step instructions on how to run the machine and manage tools and material.
Flawless results every time!

• Smart material properties via automatic material compensation selection
• Maintain and use bending tools easily and efficiently via graphical guidance
• Visualization of foot pedals to clearly and safely know how to operate machine
• Additional instructions in the selected language of the individual operator possible
• One side of sheet metal is colored to keep track of rotation and flipping the material
