Bend-Tech PRO was introduced with our assembly interface which has taken the market by storm. With a modest price, everybody can design and fabricate tubing like the pros.

Bend Tech spent countless hours observing and asking questions to our customers on how they would like to see PRO work. Our customers wanted the power but didn't want the learning curve and frustration that comes with a standard CAD system. We pealed back the pillars of standard CAD thinking and put together an interface that is logical beyond belief. Most customers are comfortable with full assembly design in less than 2 hours. Again don't let the learning curve fool you, customers are designing entire fabricated tube chassis the first night they sit down with the software.

The assembly interface consists of 3 primary functions.

Full 3D assembly design.
Compete dimensioning.
Cutting instructions including fish-mouthing.

At anytime during the design in PRO's assembly interface you can lookup the details of a part and print out entire manufacturing instructions. PRO uses your tooling and materials libraries so you are confident you can create what is being designed.

PRO does have the assembly power, however, don't forget it includes the functionality of EZ-3D. So you will also receive 100% accurate cut lengths, bend angles and bend rotations. Don't forget about the simulation and the step-by-step graphical setup sheets. The Templates, Custom Part, and Custom 3D interfaces are all part of PRO.

Here is the bottom line; if you are a serious about fabricating and don't need the power of Bend-Tech SE, PRO is the way to go.

PC System Requirements
Windows XP or Vista
Windows Vista is not an issue for Bend-Tech products. Bend-Tech has been tested on the new MS Windows Vista operating system and runs successfully. We have been using the latest tools provided by Microsoft and this allowed us to be 100% compatible prior to the official release of Vista.

The Pricing Module: How can the module help you?: There are 3 ways to quote a job; 1) Just right, you get the job and are able to make the profit you desire. 2) Too high, you are too high priced to obtain the job. 3) Too low, I consider this to be the worst case. You get the job, however, loose money on it.

Function: Allows a user to assign cost to material, time to setup and run time to functions such as; cutting, bending, notching and welding. In addition other functions can be added such as; paint, cleanup, sand blast, etc.... A price is than given per hour of labor. In addition, a percentage increase can be given against material and/or time.

NOTE: This module is designed to allow you to obtain an accurate price. It is not designed to provide the quoted presentation material to your customer.

Design Features: Besides material there are run time and setup time for each work station. The setup time is a one time charge to the over all job. As an example; if it takes 20 minutes to setup the bending job for the die, then that time is divided up between the parts in an assembly and the quantities of the job to run. The run time is the amount of time to run that function. In the case of bending, the time it takes to move and rotate the material into the proper position, needs to be accounted for in the run time of the job.
