Designer 3D Cad Interface
Welcome Back Guys today I am feeling like Designer is on the Agenda as some of us are moving from the 2D world into 3D,
RADAN Designer :
UNFOLD PREPARATION
Several powerful sheet metal functions area available to prepare a part for unfolding. RADAN | Designer has functionality to correct the thickness, change bend radii and make changes to flange angles and lengths.
UNFOLDING
Unfolding a sheet metal part couldn’t be easier. RADAN | Designer offers a flexible material library and several calculation methods to create the correct unfolded shape. Available are unfolding using a setback at 90 degrees, a k-factor, DIN correction, or using only the V-width of the die that will be used to bend the part.
Unfolding parameters, such as bend allowances, can be controlled independently of the geometry, enabling an accurate development that is based on the actual bending machines and tooling to be used in production.
This leads to:
More accurate flat blanks
More accurate folding; and
Ultimately a higher quality product
EXTENSIVE RANGE OF CAD INTERFACES
RADAN | Designer imports data from a wide variety of exchange formats including Parasolid, IGES, STEP, ACIS, DXF, DWG, STL and VDA files as well as native data from the following CAD systems:
Catia V4 & V5
Pro/ENGINEER & PTC Creo
Autodesk Inventor
Siemens NX
SolidWorks
Solid Edge
