Can I create GEO data for TruTops Laser and TruTops Punch (ToPs 100/300) directly with the unfolding and can I transfer the geometry directly to punch-, laser- and bending processes?

SPI SheetMetalWorks allows for the direct export of the unfolding geometry from SolidWorks to the ToPs-GEO file format. Different to the DXF transfer the once calculated GEO-files can directly be up-loaded to TruTops Laser and TruTops Punch modules for nesting, laser cutting etc. A time-consuming transformation with the help of the Tops drawing editor is void! For the bending simulation all information (bending radii, bending factors) is contained and thus is immediately available in TruTops Bend (ToPs 600). For the further processing on bending machines of Delem and Cybelec the unfolding supplies the necessary additional information also. You can use the geometry in arbitrary other numerical control programming systems.
