Creo NC Sheetmetal Extension
Punch and bend metal
Inefficient sheetmetal manufacturing entails high levels of scrap, and manually-conducted repetitive operations. Eliminating these problems is the domain of Creo NC Sheetmetal Extension. You gain productivity by automatically creating and optimizing toolpaths using standard and form tools. And, with its smart auto-nesting, you utilize maximum sheet area, reduce scrap and material costs and shorten lead times. Creo NC Sheetmetal Extension improves manufacturing tooling and factory equipment design processes.
