On behalf of a company specialized in press benders, we are developing new modules to supplement their basic software. This software, purchased along the NC from a well-known swiss firm, is enhanced from our modules that:

1. Calculate sheet metal thickness

2. Calculate springback

3. Calculate and correct the strains of the machine in real-time during the bend

4. Manage active and dynamic crowning

The user interface has been developed using Visual C++ .Net while the "real-time" part, which performs the calculations and corrections, has been developed in C. The whole software runs under the Windows OS.
