Re: tube bending software
They did make the program easier than a normal CAD system. But not by much. First you need to tell the system what you are working with such as the size of tubing and wall thickness. Then you tell it what radius your die is. I'm working with 1.5 tubing with .120 wall and a 7" radius die. Once you have that done you can go to the legend and pick out a templet of the shape you are wanting by the number of bends. From there you will need to know how tall and wide you want your piece to be. Play with it some till you get the feel for it. Once you have a shape picked out and you have your measurements entered there is a box that tells you where your bends will start and the degree of the bend
