Bend-Tech SE
Commercial grade software for tube & pipe design/ manufacturing. If tube bending is part of your company's business or you are serious about tube bending, then Bend-Tech SE is the best fit for you.
Bend-Tech PRO
If you are designing chassis, roll cages, rock sliders, frames or anything from single parts to multiple tubing assembly then Bend-Tech PRO is where you want to start.
Bend-Tech EZ3D
If you need a few single parts bent with rotation, EZ3D is a start. EZ3D is also useful if you won't be fabricating multiple tube assemblies such as roll cages, bumpers, etc.
Bend-Tech EZ
If you are planning to bend just a few parts in a year and the parts are 2D single parts, then EZ may do the trick.
Add on Modules for PRO and SE
Bend-Tech SM
Available as a add on with the purchase of PRO and SE.
Bend-Tech SM is a simple and powerful sheet metal design software that is geared towards the hobbyist, school, prototype shop, maintenance facility, or performance shop. You will no longer need to spend your money on the expensive, high-end solid modeling CAD systems to be able to design sheet metal parts. Bend-Tech SM is also very easy to use and does not require weeks of training and several volumes of guides and tutorials.
Bend-Tech SM takes on an approach of designing from a 2D perspective, some may refer to it as 2 ½D. Most of the design work is done in 2D, however, the model that is built is in full 3D. There are easy to find CAD tools while working on a flange or bend zone for geometry design and manipulation.
Bend-Tech MSP
Available as a add on with the purchase of PRO and SE.
MSP(Sheet Metal Templates) is a set of templates designed for the Motorsports industry which includes washers, tabs, gussets, beadlocks, shackles, assorted mounts, brackets, etc. MSP will help you find and create the plate parts you need. With customizable dimensioning, this software is the perfect fit for your unique fabrication project. Once you've created your plate, MSP can export a .dxf file of your part to be sent to your plasma CAM software for easy cutting and manufacturing.
Bend-Tech RCT
Available as a add on with the purchase of PRO and SE.
Whether you are designing roll cages for your side by side UTV & ATV, Jeep, stock car, rock crawlers, etc, our pre-designed cages available in the Roll Cage Templates Module (RCT) will give you the ability to create a roll cage that will be a perfect fit for your vehicle. With the help of the RCT module, you can simply pick a roll cage design, then fill in your specific values to create a custom cage on the fly.
After you've finished dimensioning your cage, it can be brought into the Bend-Tech Assembly interface where you can add, delete, or edit specific parts for enhancing structural support or adding your personal touch. This allows you to customize your design even further.
Every cage designed in RCT will provide bending instructions such as cut length, bend location, bend angle, rotation, etc, these accurate numbers which can be calibrated to any of your tube benders (from manual hand bender to CNC) will be your ultimate tool for successful tube fabrication.
Another handy feature included is the auto defined tube cutting information for end notching of the tubes. Every part has the cutting instructions already complete with cutting wrappers available to print out.
Bend-Tech APT
Available as a add on with the purchase of PRO and SE.
Armor Pack Templates module (APT) is specially designed to create bumpers, stingers, tire carriers, rock sliders, racks, and roof racks for your side-by-side UTVs & ATVs, Jeeps, trucks, and more. This easy-to-use module will allow you to simply type in the dimensions you want and automatically create and adjust your 3D tube assembly with accuracy.
Once you are satisfied with your project, APT designs can be brought into the Bend-Tech Assembly interface where you can add, delete, or edit specific parts for enhancing structural support or adding your personal touch. This allows you to customize your design even further before fabrication.
Every project designed in APT will provide bending instructions such as cut lengths, bend locations, bend angles, rotations, etc. These accurate numbers which can be calibrated to any of your tube benders (from manual hand bender to CNC) will be your ultimate tool for successful tube fabrication.
Another handy feature included is the auto defined tube cutting information for end notching of the tubes. Every part has the cutting instructions already complete with cutting wrappers available to print out.
Bend-Tech LR
Available as a add on with the purchase of PRO and SE.
The Bend-Tech LR Module adds the ability to create large radius bends within Bend-Tech PRO. The module gives you the ability to create custom CLR's and assign multiple different dies in the same part. Also included is a bump bending tool which allow you to easily create an artificial large radius using a normal bender and die. Several other tools and abilities are included aimed at helping you design large radius bends.
Bend-Tech HD
Available as a add on with the purchase of PRO and SE.
Bend-Tech HD is a valuable tool to help remove the trial and error out of tube header manufacturing. Bend-Tech HD allows the user to be able to design their own headers in minutes, providing detailed step-by-step instructions where to cut and rotate each tubular segment. It is also the only product on the market to take your custom tube header design and break it down to fabrication instructions using pre-bent mandrel tubing.
Bend-Tech EXH
Available as a add on with the purchase of PRO and SE.
The Bend-Tech EXH is specially designed to aid in the manufacture of exhaust tubing/pipe.
The main interface of Bend-Tech EXH gives you the ability to re-create the critical components of a vehicle (axles, mufflers, gas tanks, etc) and then properly route the tubing around them. This interface also allows you to create multiple bent and straight tubes within the same design. You can then obtain the cutting/bending instructions for each tube.
The interface is easy to use, using a grid with directions related to a vehicle and a built-in offset tool for avoiding obstacles.
Also included in EXH are several other part designers, including dozens of Templates, Custom Part (LRA), Custom 3D Part, Sketch 2D/3D.
Bend-Tech SW Module
Available as a add on with the purchase of SE.
The Bend-Tech SW Module is an application that takes a designed tube, pipe, or rod from your SOLIDWORKS program and sends the part geometry directly into Bend-Tech to calculate the correct manufacturing instructions. Which SOLIDWORKS features are recognized? Bend-Tech SW will allow you to work with Sketch Lines, Sweeps & Weldments.
Bend-Tech HR Module
Available as a add on with the purchase of SE.
Bend-Tech HR offers a specially created interface for designing handrails using walls and steps/stairs. HR also offers advanced 3D templates to quickly create common railing shapes. These helpful tools were developed specially for designing handrails and to accelerate your designing and manufacturing process. HR also has a stair wizard feature for quickly determining the rise and run of a handrail.
Modules cannot be sold separately, purchase either with PRO or SE.
