Offline 3D Press Brake Simulation

DBend is a user-oriented application for offline press brake simulation and programming:Collision detection ensures minimal stock wastage.Offline programming maximises machine bending timeEasy to use tool library for flexible toolingGraphic control over all program features

Effective Offline Programming

FeaturesDirect part transfer from 3D CAD packages and importing for industry-standard exchange formatsPart profile creationAutomatic tooling, bend sequencing and finger positioningGraphic control for all automatic selections3D simulation with collision detectionNative NC code generation for machine controlsProduction-oriented Setup Reports Flat part export for ensuring correct cutting dimensionsDirect export of the flat to cncKad for cutting blanks

Easily import parts into DBend:Transfer models directly from 3D CAD design programsImport IGES and STEP formats 3D geometriesFlat DXF importTransfer parts directly from cncKad

Simple Part Import

Efficient Tool SelectionAutomatic tool selection based on:Availability of tool geometry and segments Bend radiusMaximum forceCollision avoidanceFull support for hemming:Specify default hemming tools for automatic selectionDefault and editable Pre-bend angleAll standard hemming configurations:Spring-loaded diesFlat toolingTwo stage tooling

Bend Sequence SelectionDBend automatically calculates multiple bend sequences based on:Collision avoidanceMinimum operator handlingEasy comparison between the calculated sequencesFull manual control:Split bends into partial bends for collision avoidanceDrag-and-drop sequence changes for single and multiple bends

Fingerstops PositioningDBend provides options for automatic and manual control over the backgauge:Automatic stop selection Automatic Crab Claw gaugingAutomatic retraction calculated for each bendGraphical and numerical control over all backgauge axesPoint-to-Point snappingMovement by mouse dragging

3D Simulation and Collision DetectionAutomatic simulation and collision detection:Detection of collisions with all moving elementsSimulate the bending sequence with the full machine configuration in 3D – Fingers, Tools, Part and MachineRealistic visualisation of bending (overbend, springback)Operator part handling

Additional Features

Part Profile Creation

DBend also provides:Part design from profilesExport the unfolded part directly to cncKadExport the unfolded part to flat DXF for cutting\punchingMake video captures of the simulation run

Simple part creation using profile extrusion:Select an existing profile from the Profiles LibraryCreate a new profile

Improved ProductivityDBend enables better use of your resources: Fast design-to-production with direct transfer from 3D CAD to SimulationOffline programming means minimal machine down-time for programming on the controlMinimise stock wastage with collision detectionFaster machine setup with detailed operator job reportsProduction-ready bend sequences with fewer experts required on handAccelerated employee training without consuming materials and machine resources

Easy-to-use tool library

D-Bend Benefits

DBend’s Tool Library is designed for ease of use:Create tools parametrically via the user interfacePart Creation flat DXFs tool profiles for custom toolsEasily select only those tools currently available for useSort tools according to property – tonnage, height, etc.

DBend helps your overall fabrication abilities:Collision detection ensures smooth production startup for new partsOffline programming minimises machine down timeEasily switch between machine configurations for shop-floor production optimisationProduction-ready bend sequences with fewer experts required on hand
