- Just one click to print multiple sections.
Features
- Accurately determines Initial Unfolded Length required.
- Sets default Vee for each Bend. You may select alternative Vee if needed.
- Determines Unfolded Length by internally computing Vee, IR, K Factor, OSSB, Bending Allowance and Bend Deduction.
- Minimum overhang required for each bend.
- Generates Section Diagrams and Marking Diagrams with a maximum of 10 bends.
- Ability to rotate Section Diagram as per the desired view
- Section Diagram can be viewed in 1:1 scale or log scale. Log scale is useful when dimension range is too big.
- Facility to store a maximum of 5 Sections in one file, i.e. all the relevant details of one product component / client orders can be stored in 15 different sections in a single file.
- Bend Tables in .xls format which can be edited if needed.
- Facility to view and print the Section Diagrams at multiple angles, in other words the Section Diagrams can be rotated at different angles, for better view.

- Punch centerline for each bend.
- Direction of each bend.
- Angle in degree of each bend.
- Radius of each bend.
- V-Block opening required for each bend.
- Distance of each bend from the extreme left. Relative distance between the bends. Distance of each bend from the extreme right.
- Report Contents :
- Company Logo.
- Customer name, Part number, Revision and Part Description.
- Table containing columns (Flange Outside, Bend Angle deg, Vee, IR, K Factor, OSSB, Bending Allowance, Bend Deduction, Unfolded Length).
- Section Diagram.
- Marking Diagram.
- Report can be viewed in mm / decimal inches / fractional inches.
