3D sheet metal design and automatic unfolding

Features include
User-defined
bend allowances

Radan3D is a high performance and versatile
3D modelling package designed to make
sheet metal design and engineering assembly
modelling simple.
3D sheet metal design
The software is specifically
focused on the rapid creation and
modification of 3D sheet metal
parts and assemblies. The system
understands the attributes of sheet
metal and utilises user-definable
parameters for precise automatic
unfolding.
Based on the ACIS solid modelling
kernel and employing modern
parametric techniques, it provides
design flexibility, and a unique 2D-to3D method of creating 3D objects.

Unfolding parameters, such as
bend allowances, can be controlled
independently of the geometry,
enabling an accurate development
that is based on 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.
Benefits include :
•t

Specialised sheet metal
assembly design

In addition, Radan3D allows the
import of a range of file formats,
including Inventor, Solidworks, Catia
V4 & V5, SAT, IGES, STEP and
Parasolid, as well as the creation of
assemblies in the 3D environment.

•t

Design errors eliminated

•t

Accurate automatic unfolding,
even with imported models

•t

Increased production flexibility

The Radan3D model can be updated
with manufacturing information such
as expected radius and setback
values from Radbend, Radan’s
offline programming solution.

•t

High quality data import with
optional geometry healing

•t

High productivity

Automatic unfolding
Parts can be unfolded directly into
the sheet metal part editor, ready for
onward processing. This enables a
smooth and efficient workflow from
design to manufacture.
