COPRA^® MetalBender 3D

Non-parametric 3D sheet metal part design and flat pattern calculation/ unfolding, professional tool administration, punch and contour punch functionality

The COPRA® MetalBender 3D is based on the ACIS solid modeler integrated in AutoCAD or Autodesk Mechanical Desktop, the COPRA® MetalBender 3D provides the entire 3D functionality.

The powerful design utilities allow an easy and quick design of even very complex sheet metal parts. Flanges to be added can be filleted or sharp-edged, with or without relief cut as well as with a predefined offset from the reference edge.

The integrated preview allows a collision control already during the definition of the flange parameter. The flange design features are using dialogue windows with a clear structure. COPRA® MetalBender 3D also provides the possibility to convert 2D shapes or contours automatically into 3D solid models. Complex flange or box-type shapes can thus be easily designed as 2D polylines and cam be easily and quickly be converted into a 3D sheet metal part. Occurring intersection curves will be calculated automatically. The thus created solid model can be completed with all necessary features like punch holes, notchings and piercings.

Drawing generation
The COPRA® MetalBender 3D automatically derives from the 3D sheet metal part design the 2D front-, side- and plan view. Optionally the dimensions will be added. The flat pattern calculated can also be dimensioned automatically with the help of the COPRA® MetalBender 3D taking into account different dimensioning styles.
