Feature-rich MBend includes:

• Transferring parts directly from 3D CAD systems with CAD Link, our optional add-on
• Importing and unfolding IGES and STEP 3D parts
• Importing and folding flat DXFDWG parts with layer filtering
• Enabling automatic or manual selection of tools based on material, machine, and tool properties
• Calculating sequences automatically, avoiding collisions
• Allowing manual selection of sequences, in 3D, with collision testing
• Positioning fingers automatically, yet allowing manual snapping to adjust placement
• Calculating retractions automatically
• Simulating the bending process in 3D, displaying collisions
• Generating native NC programs for loading parts directly into machine controls
• Creating comprehensive setup reports for the machine operator including bend sequence, tooling, and bend-by-bend graphics
• A touch-screen version for machine controls

Advantages of MBend:

• Fully automated processing, including fully automated batch processing of multiple parts, enhancing your productivity and hastening design-to-production times
• Automatic collision-less sequencing solutions for an unlimited number of bends
• If a collision-less bend sequence exists, MBend will find it
• Solutions with a minimal number of stations and segments
• Unlimited number of fingers

  Designing Parts

  With the MBend module of designing parts you can draw part profiles.

  Use the MBend design module to sketch a part profile, refine its flange dimensions and angles, and save it in the profile library for later reuse.

  MBend also includes a basic 3D CAD designer.
