LVD Company has released a new version of its programming and shop management software, CADMAN® Suite version 8.5. The release includes enhancements for every CADMAN module, such as an improved dashboard for more intuitive use, and extends CADMAN’s integration capabilities to include the next generation of LVD’s Touch-P punch press control, as well as non-LVD cutting and punching equipment. CADMAN helps streamline the complete fabrication process to make smart manufacturing possible – starting with a 3D part concept, communication to production control, organising a shop’s manufacturing flow, to cutting, sorting and bending.

 

Beyond its new, modern look, CADMAN Suite v8.5 provides these key updates: CADMAN-B bend CAM software has improved bend solution finding, including tool preselection based on active catalogue(s); preferred (custom) tooling can be selected followed by several checks ending with a collision check on a 3D virtual production; the intelligent import function for import part by part or in batch has been enhanced; form features are recognised, existing bends in the part can be indicated or bends can be excluded from the automatic solution find process.
