What are the benefits of using SheetMetalWorks from SPI?

Modern techniques and machines allow the production of increasingly complex parts. Clerverly bent sheet metal can supplant costly welded constructions or complicatedly connected milled components.

Intelligent bending makes it possible to manufacture products for which previously several parts had to be joined together using conventional methods. However, it is up to the software to ensure that a construction results in a manufacturable unfolding and an NC program for laser cutting or punching machines, as well as offline bend programming.

This requires CAD solutions that streamline both the design and the manufacturing process, as well as reduce development and manufacturing costs by integrating end-to-end value chain processes from design to delivery.
