According to the company, benefits include faster and more reliable programming away from the machine tool, CAD integration and automation results with shorter programming time, faster set-up time with quick access to manufacturing information, and more effective re-use of NC programs.

In addition, the solution can reduce design errors, provides a centralized database, provides a way to check processes via realistic bending simulations, and reduces programming errors via its collision check functionality.
