MetaBEND is a powerful offline software based on the MetaCAM technology developed by Metamation, Inc®. It is able to generate the following data for Cybelec numerical controls:
For ModEva RA, MetaBEND can generate 3D native data in the form of:
The geometry of a part,
The geometry of the part + bending solution.
For the rest of the ModEva S and the DNC 880S ranges(*), MetaBEND can generate .DAT data in the form of:
The bending solution without the geometry of the part,
Image (.JPEG) for each bending sequence.
(*The data can also be used for other numerical controls like the DNC 60, DNC 600S etc.)
The MetaBEND software offers various other powerful features:
An auto tooler, which will select the appropriate tooling to be used according to the machine type and 3D model, thus generating a collision free bend sequence.
A fully animated bend simulator with collision checks. The simulation and detected collisions can be inspected and corrected in detail thanks to the graphic interface.
Graphic tool layouts allow modifications to be made with ease to tooling and bend reports provide 3D views of each bend.
The back gauges can also be viewed in the 3D visual representation window; changes can therefore be made to their positions easily.
