Batch Processing
The MBend automation feature allows batch processing your parts.
MBend can process parts in batches, using selections of native MBCAM, 3D (IGS, STEP) or 2D (DXF, DWG) parts to generate machine-ready NC files and setup reports.
You can determine how to process a group of parts and save the settings for later use as a script file.
Select individual parts or entire folders to process, choose a machine—optionally deciding to generate NC and reports—and configure backup processes to run if the first configuration fails.
MBend starts batch processing, running each part through automatic tooling, sequencing, simulation, and output generation using the configuration settings.
If processing a particular file fails (maybe because no appropriate tools are found, or because no sequence is collision-free), MBend proceeds to process the next part, and so on. When one part is processed successfully, output is generated. MBend then tries to process the failed parts using the next defined configuration.
You can manually change the predefined batch processing options.

-
Importing & Exporting Parts
MBend can import parts in 3D STEP/IGES or 2D DXF formats, export to 2D DXF, and exchange data directly with cncKad.
-
Tooling
MBend tooling enables manual, automatic, and preferred tool selection, and saving or reuse of tool segment and position setups.
-
Sequencing
MBend enables manual selection or automatic calculation of bend sequencing.
-
Finger Positioning
MBend provides options for automatic and full manual control of the finger positioning.
-
Simulating
Simulating bends in MBend is a dynamic process, showing a realistic 3D visualization of the bending parts.
-
Generating NC
MBend creates NC code suitable for most machines and controllers.
-
Reports
Comprehensive MBend reports include all the information the operator needs to set up the tooling and bend the part.
