Reduce Shop Floor Errors with Manufacturability Testing
The Global Edge Engineering Assistant provides innovative software technology that allows you to automatically perform a Manufacturability Test on sheet metal CAD parts. This is accomplished with software functionality that performs a complete part parameter analysis on a 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:
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
