The Bend-Tech Large Radius Module (LR) is an add-on module for the Bend-Tech PRO. This module was designed to give PRO users some extra tools and functions for creating parts and assemblies that utilize large radius bends.
Below is a list of the major features found in the LR module.
- Adjust Radius Tool (Assembly)
- Easily adjust the radius of any bend using your mouse. Useful for large radius crowns to get the desired height/look you need.
- Bump Bending Tool (Single Parts)
- Create an imitation large radius bend using a standard bender. This tool allowed you to design a large radius bend and then easily break it down into multiple small bends for a regular bender.
- Flat Layout (Single Parts)
- Use the Flat Layout tool to obtain a graphical representation of the flat part prior to bending. Get the start and end locations of each bend, useful for laying out the large radius bends on a part.
- Custom CLR's (Single Parts and Assembly)
- Create any size radius on a part easily by simply entering a custom radius. You will not need to create a die for each radius you wish to use.
- Allowed multiple dies per part
- There is no limit to the number of dies or radii you can use on a single part. Each part can have multiple dies and/or radii defined.
- Allowed more bends per part (up to 100)
- Increase the total number of bends allowed per part from 10 up to 50 (100 bends in some cases).
Obtain all the large radius tools and functions that Bend-Tech has to offer with the Large Radius module (available for Bend-Tech PRO only).
