With 3D Bend you can now simulate the entire sheet metal bending process directly from an office PC. Create the sheet metal drawing on the PC, click where you want to bend, choose your press brake and upload the program. Together with an SACIE press brake control, you can transform any Promecam, Elga, Heli, Exactility, or Amada press brake into an automatic press brake, saving you all of that manual setup time.
Using 3D Bend has some great benefits:
* Reduce training time for the operator. All programs are created directly from your pc without you needing to know complicated program instructions for a control. Simply give them a print out generated by 3D Bend, showing the sequence of bends, and away you go.
* Avoid scrapping material. The software informs you when there are collisions and will simply try to rearrange your bend sequence to avoid the collision. All scrapping of material happens only in the virtual world. Also with the automatic rearranging of bends, you can save a lot of time finding the correct sequence.
* Visualize the final product. Observe and view the final product directly on the PC.
* Become press brake independent. It doesn`t matter which press brake you have. If it can be fitted with a SACIE press brake control, it can be controlled by 3D Bend.
* Create your sheet metal designs in 3D Bend. No need to buy expensive CAD software just to create a few simple designs. Even if you have all of your existing designs in a CAD program simply import them to 3D Bend in the DXF file format.
* Purchase of 3D Bend is on a monthly rental agreement. You needn`t lay out a huge amount of money in one go; thus making 3D Bend the most affordable press brake simulation software available. We focus especially on the small business owner, this makes 3D Bend the most affordable sheet metal bending simulation!
Stop wasting time manually setting up your Press Brake and doing batches. Switch to an automatic Press Brake using an SACIE Press Brake control. Once you`re running an automatic machine it`s only a simple matter of uploading your finished programs onto the control through 3D Bend. No more scrapping of expensive material. Show the operator how to bend using the generated printout.
