COPRA® MetalBender TD-i
- Automatic creation of sheet metal parts
- All designed parts are fully parametric
- Automatic creation of the corresponding assembly
- Flat pattern calculation for each individual part
- All parameters of the flat pattern calculation for each individual part are pre-set.
COPRA® MetalBender Analyser-i
- Flat pattern calculation directly inside the Inventor workflow, no external add-on package, no need for data conversion
- Unfolding of solids created inside Inventor®
- Unfolding of sharp-edged transitions
- Automatic unfolding with or without bending technology (Calculation of the shortening factor or K-factor)
- Shown in the unfolder window in Inventor® and exportable as a separate design
- Corner and bending zone relief cuts
- Interface for Cybelec / Delem / ToPs
- Calculation mode according to DIN, machine data and position of the neutral line
- Automatic calculation of the overbend angles taking the material's spring-back characteristics into account (can be chosen according to various methods)
- Intersection point optimisation for laser manufacture can be selected
- Smoothening of the unfolding
- Transfer as DXF file to NC programs
- Automatic corner recognition also for solids imported from other CAD-systems
- Associativity solid-unfolding
- Selection of bending tools for the design process
- Flat pattern meets manufacturing standards
