Bend-Tech SE is the top of the line when it comes to tube bending software. SE is a must have if your job, business or livelihood depends in part on bending tube.  SE has the tools that will allow you to be productive no matter what problems you face in your tube bending fabrication.

SE provides the ease-of-use, the fundamental 3D engineering, and the assembly design. SE provides those extra tools that you will need when you are concerned about setup and production times. What separates SE from the rest is its focus on manufacturability and flexibility in design. 

Focus on Manufacturability:

• SE checks to verify sufficient material is available for the bending process.
• SE can provide a "spring back" bend angles.
• SE provides extra checking tools to verify part validity.
• SE allows for multiple dies to be used on the same part.
• SE has extra functionality for roll bending.
• SE provides a graphical layout interface.

Focus on Design Flexibility:

• SE has an XYZ interface.
• SE has an advanced LRA "Length, Rotation & Angle" design interface.
• SE has a very powerful reverse engineering feature.
• SE allows for dxf/step/iges/ interfacing (with the Import/Export module).
• SE allows for unit conversion (inches vs millimeters).

Like the other Bend-Tech products SE has the same state-of-the-art interface. When the software is first viewed you will find a multiple document windows interface with a new document ready to be used. SE offers the multiple listing of predefined templates, Custom Part , the Custom 3D Part interface and the Assembly interface like PRO, however you will also find a XYZ interface. The Import/Export module will also allow .step, .iges, and .dxf files to be imported into the software.
