January Special Focus Issue: Design for Additive
In this Special Focus Issue of Digital Engineering, learn about the latest advancements in design for additive manufacturing, including new software tools, additive in automotive, custom medical devices, and more.
Radan 08, the latest version of Radan Computational's (Forest Lake, MN) CAD/CAM software for sheet metal applications, incorporates new functionality to maximize material utilization and reduce cycle times.
Windows Vista compatible, Radan 08 includes support for the latest 3D CAD file translators, resulting in further added functionality such as material thickness, auto detect, and joggle support for RadbendCNC.
Radraft customers will also notice enhancements that include support for AutoCAD 2008 .dwg files in addition to color mapping and filtering during import. CAD draftsmen will appreciate the enhanced geometry and smart shapes' functions.
Radan 08 also reduces material wastage as offcuts can be automatically recorded for later use by Radan's Remnant Nesting tools and the nester will evaluate all stored remnants before selecting the best one to use. Further functionality includes improved support for shearing machines and pierce variants for profiling machines, resulting in ultimate control over the cutting process.
