Radan - Latest Release

Containing impressive new functionality and additional features, Radan 2009 R2 launches, confirming its place as the best sheet metal CAD/CAM solution available.

The 2009 R2 release sees developments to critical functionality including major enhancements in the nesting capabilities. Powerful new functionality called the Nesting Project Environment enables the user to have additional controls and visual feedback of this key manufacturing process. For both manual and automatic nesting the user will achieve maximum material utilisation and, with the additional levels of control available in R2, Radan users can identify the parts that have been nested and manufactured to the required level, where extra parts will be created, where too many parts will be created; where there are unexpected parts (not due to be nested); or, where the required part levels have not been reached.

Planit Chief Technology Officer, Russell Franks, comments: “The new Nesting Project Environment allows Radan users to consider far wider business factors, going beyond the individual manufacturing task in hand. The software enables the maximisation of sheet utilisation by fitting frequently produced parts within other nests once the CAM program has reached the required batch quantity, effectively making stock parts from what previously would have been scrapped raw material.”

Enhancements to RadbendCNC also feature strongly in this latest release. Continuing our offline programming/digital manufacturing philosophy, forming will now be taken into account during the press brake simulation and collision checking process. By adding this extra functionality our customers will be able to benefit from even greater cost and time savings, enabling them to maximise productivity and reduce waste.
