Planit Releases Radan 2010 R1 for Sheet Metal
 TUSCALOOSA,
AL, Sep 29, 2009 - Developed to build on the productivity enhancing
features introduced in previous versions, the latest release of Planit’s
market leading Radan sheet metal CAD/CAM Software, 2010 R1 offers even more.
Whether designing or importing models, Radan is comfortable working with
multiple formats of 2D and 3D CAD data.
In this latest release, there are enhancements to the 2D CAD module,
including an improved DXF interface and in 3D, the introduction of the
latest ACIS Kernel offers greater stability and performance when loading
CATIA and Parasolid files.
“There is continued pressure on optimal material usage and in this
version we have added important functionality to achieve this,” states Olaf
Korner, Radan Product Manager.
 At
the core of Radan 2010 R1’s nesting is the new Nest Projects enhancement,
which accommodates production changes effortlessly by allowing customers to
visualize multiple nests, change priorities, and automatically or manually
control nesting functions. Radan users will also see a significant increase
in material utilization with these new changes to our nesting software. The
new Nest Projects enhancement allows parts to be grouped by a chosen
property, such as material type or thickness of a part. Users can choose to
use the true shape nesting in addition to rectangular nesting which provides
enhanced part control and improved sorting capabilities to achieve optimal
sheet material utilization. This enhancement also allows increased
visibility of the nesting performance, provides remnant tracking and
creation, and combines it with a simple interface for MRP integration.
New options are also available for tool path optimization routines. Users
have greater control by optimizing a specific region rather than the whole
sheet. Any repositions are also taken into account when changing the
automatic routines, and subroutines are created if necessary.
Radan users can also expect to see more automated functions to control
part and part picker movements in the 2010 R1 version. For example, a
strategy can be set to define the order in removing the part or scrap
operation. A new ‘Constrain’ option has been added to allow users to control
the movements of the part and part picker during unloading functions for
their machines resulting in a more controlled and safer environment.
“Achieving the balance between powerful functionality and ease-of-use is
an ongoing challenge, but in 2010 R1 I feel we have accomplished that across
the product,” comments Olaf Korner.
