Pro/ENGINEER : Production : NC Sheetmetal
Punch and bend metal
With Pro/ENGINEER NC Sheetmetal software, you’ll only ever need to create toolpaths once. They can then be customized to your specific needs and used over and over again. NC programmers can create toolpaths for turret punch presses and contouring laser/flame machines in industries ranging form computers and appliances to consumer electronics and office furniture.
Define the NC sequences and create nests for your design automatically. CL files are then generated to G code and sent to the machine tool. And with features such as Dynamic True Shape Auto Nesting, you can utilize maximum sheet area to reduce scrap and material costs and shorten lead times. Enabling manufacturers to advance from a “push” bulk production system, to a “pull” order-driven system.
