Automatically Test Production Batches for Manufacturability
The Global Edge Engineering Assistant provides innovative software technology that allows you to automatically perform a Manufacturability Test on either small or large batches of sheet metal CAD parts. This is accomplished with software functionality that performs a complete part parameter analysis on each sheet metal part and stores this information in the Global Edge database.
The CAD Part Parameters are then automatically compared with bending machine tool parameters to determine if a sheet metal part can be successfully fabricated. The CAD Part Parameters analyzed include the following:
- Material / Thickness / Part Weight / Bend Radius
- Blank / Flat (Length & Width)
- Cutouts / Holes (Count & Size)
- Minimum / Maximum Bend Length
- Minimum / Maximum Bend Angle
- Minimum / Maximum Flange Width
- Minimum Pem Hole to Bend Line Gap
- Minimum Embossment to Bend Line Gap
- Minimum Louver to Bend Line Gap
- Maximum Up / Maximum Down Bend
- Fold / Hem / Extrude Counts
- Minimum Taper / Die Cut to Bend Line Gap
