Bend CAM

Automatic programming for press-brakes
Working from 3D models designed with MetaCAM's 3D modeler, or imported from other packages, MetaBend can automatically assign punches and dies, position back-gauges, and compute an optimal bend sequence.

The interactive graphical tools allow you to customize bend setups, drag and drop back-gauges to different locations and re-sequence the bend operations.

The powerful Bend Overview window shows you the status of the entire press-brake operation at a single glance, and allows centralized control over tooling, gauging and sequencing. You can generate custom setup sheets from the bend module, showing step-by-step thumbnails of bend operation, tool lists and mount diagrams.

Benefits

Bend simulation with accurate representation of the machine model.
Collision checking to avoid injury and minimize scrap parts.
Comprehensive Bend Tool Library and Custom Tool Support.
Generate Nc code for select brakes.
Detailed Graphical Reports with Brake Setup and Bending Sequence.

Detailed, Interactive Process Simulation

The bend modules simulation system provides detailed, precise and configurable simulation of the entire press-brake operation. Back gauge movement, ram stroke, part insertion and retraction are all animated.
A real-time collision detection system warns you of all potential collisions, while controls allow you to turn various parts of the machine display on or off.

"The Metacam CAD/CAM software is the best nesting solution for our extensive product line. Its innovative features allows us to produce highly efficient nests for our TRUMPF Laser Systems by optimizing machine time and saving material."
