AMADA Programming & Sheet-Metal Manufacturing

A sheet-metal manufacturing programming workflow built around real production decisions: unfold and DFM review, press-brake simulation, nesting, NC creation and downstream fabrication support.

AMADA press-brake simulation — 40-second selected sequence from the original programming workflow.

1. Virtual press-brake validation

Programming begins with bend sequence, tooling and clearance checks. The VPSS4iE workflow makes interference and feasibility issues visible before the job reaches the machine.

AMADA VPSS4iE press-brake bend simulation — Tooling, bend angle and sequence evaluated in the virtual press-brake environment.

AMADA VPSS bend simulation view — Part orientation and intermediate forming states are checked before release.

2. Nesting, NC creation & laser preparation

Sheet utilization and cutting strategy are planned with 4iE. The process connects nesting, NC creation and simulation, so the fabrication team receives practical machine-ready output.

AMADA 4iE sheet nesting and NC creation — Multi-sheet nesting, process-time visibility and NC generation within 4iE.

AMADA 4iE laser cutting simulation — Simulation view used to validate cutting paths, tooling and process order.

Laser G-code simulation for nested sheet-metal parts — Laser-program visual verification for a nested production sheet.

3. SheetWorks development for production

SolidWorks with SheetWorks supports complex formed components, assemblies and fabrication-aware design decisions—from individual folds to complete sheet-metal systems.

SheetWorks sheet-metal component development — Formed sheet-metal components developed for production.

SheetWorks SolidWorks mechanical assembly — Complex assembly modelling with fabrication interfaces.

SheetWorks sheet-metal assembly visualization — Assembly-level visibility for fit, forming and component coordination.
