Aicon’s BendingStudio 2.0 now available from Measurement Solutions

BendingStudio 2.0 from Aicon 3D Systems is said to offer newly developed features that aid performance in bending operations. Available in the UK from Measurement Solutions, the main innovation is ‘data service’. If BendingStudio 2.0 is installed on several workstations, interconnected users benefit from shared access to the same stored content.

Users on the shopfloor or in the office can create, call up or even modify component data and inspection plans. In short, the planning process can be physically separated from production.

Other enhancements include 'BD Freeform', a correction strategy for bend-in-bend and bends with correctable radii. For this, the user selects a freeform-gauge inspection. The optical measuring system, TubeInspect, captures tube data with freeform bends in seconds, with the corresponding correction data calculated by the program.

Holders of appropriate licences and a valid software maintenance contract will receive BendingStudio 2.0 with the next software update.
