Machine Configuration
Machine Configuration allows to import and configure tools and machines.
For example, it is very easy to switch upper clamping from European to American or NSII MBend provides roughly 200 pre-configured machine models out of the box. If your specific model is not in the list, you can easily modify an existing machine to match yours.
You can also add a machine in MBend to those already available for simulation. A built-in wizard guides you in the process of configuring a new machine, including assigning the tools, whether from imported definitions, existing definitions in MBend, or manual configuration.
There are three ways to add a new set of definitions:
- Define all the parametric measurements.
- Import an IGES file.
- Import machine and tool parameters from another PC running MBend.
Defining a parametric frame is just a matter of measuring the machine and entering the relevant information in the template.

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.
-
Batch Processing
The MBend automation feature allows batch processing your parts.
-
Designing Parts
With the MBend module of designing parts you can draw part profiles.
-
