METALIX Bend
MetalixBend bending program is a comprehensive solution for CNC Press Brakes, facilitating bending of Sheet Metal Parts.
It loads an existing drawing, calculates bending sequence, suggests the tools and back stops to use, and produce the NC program.
This product has been continuously improved during the last 10 years in conjunction with our partners in the Sheet Metal Industry.
See below for this module’s benefits and capabilities.

Benefits:
- Offline programming decreases machine down-time
- Achieving reliable programs with fewer experts on-hand
- Improved fabrication quality thanks to better production planning
- Increased production avoiding costly errors, with Collision Detection
- Integration with other Metalix products such as cncKad and MetalixUnfolder
- User friendly
What does it do?
- Imports parts as a 3D Model or as a 2D DXF
- Allows Bend Sequence Selection
- Enables Automatic Tool Selection
- Allows Automatic Fingerstop Positioning
- Runs 3D Bending Simulation with Collision Detection
- Generates NC programs in native controller format (Delem, Cybelec, Amada, etc.)
- Creates detailed Manufacturing Reports
MetalixBend works with all press brake makes and models and with any controller.
