Software connects all data, processes involved in bent part production

Aicon 3D Systems has launched BendingStudio 3.0 software. It connects all data and processes involved in bent part manufacturing, from production and process planning to manufacturing and quality control, with emphasis on metrological processes.

The setup of inspection plans is separated from the measurements, so the user sees only the information relevant for the task.

The new CAD-Wizard enables the user to create bending elements for a bending machine from a component’s CAD data in IGES or STEP. Complex data files can be processed, and bending data is easily and reliably extracted, states the company.

A connected measuring device provides the measurement data, and the software carries out the analysis of the measured pipe. A wizard guides the user through the single steps of the bending point model.
