Bend-Tech EZ-3D 7X Software
If you own a draw type tube bender, at some time you will have wasted time and material miscalculating bend starting positions. Bend-Tech tube bending software makes the job fast, easy and accurate to within 0.01mm.
The Bend-Tech range starts with EZ-2D for the occasional user making 2D parts, through EZ-3D to PRO for a professional making multiple bends in different axis on motorcycle frames, roll cages and full chassis production. At the bottom of the page is a comparison chart to help you choose.
All Bend-Tech programs are designed for users with zero CAD experience and as such don't use X,Y & Z co-ordinates which can confuse, and instead use terms such as FLOOR, CEILING, FRONT, BACK, LEFT & RIGHT.
Simplicity to use.............
To create a program the user selects the appropriate template from the library, inserts tube dimesions and wall thickness, chooses angles, lengths and die radius and the product is displayed on screen with a graph to show bend starting positions and rotation angles. Simply print it off and away you go. On the EZ-3D and PRO versions the user can custom build a model from scratch. The PRO version even calculate and prints notching templates for you to work from.
Bend-Tech EZ3D was designed to help out the serious hobbyist. They took the easy to use EZ product and added a 3D interface. The Tri-Star interface is unique in that a customer doesn't need to learn XYZ, it uses terms like front, back, floor, ceiling, left and right. While you are stepping quickly around the part, EZ3D is calculating your bend angles and rotations. No more guessing.
EZ-3D provides dozens of predefined templates and has a custom part interface which allows for up to 6 bends. Additional templates are available from download for free.
Simulation offers a quick way to verify how a part can be made and also gives the fabricating beginners an opportunity to see how the part is processed through the tooling prior to any tube being cut or bent. The simulation also forced an additional setup sheet which shows cartoon strip style transitions of the tube being bent.
If your just starting out and have a couple of projects in mind, EZ3D will be a great stepping stone to get you started.
Which program is for me?
As you will find the Bend-Tech product line is based upon levels. Each level of product will contain all of the features and functions from its lower levels plus the functions that defines itself. So as an example; Bend-Tech SE will contain 100% of the function of Bend-Tech PRO, plus have the functions as seen in the chart below that separates itself.
On the left hand side of this page please find some general statements which may help you to determine which product is best for you.
The chart below shows general functions within the software and may help you to understand the differences between our levels of product.
