New - Springback Compensation Editor Feature

Benderlink for SolidWorks now allows operators to program their Springback Compensation formula into the program using the Springback Compensation Editor.

The editor follows the same rules as the Bend Reduction Editor. The only difference is that the output from the formula inside the Springback Compensation Editor is used to adjust the bend angle in order to compensate for springback during bender. This is a sample page of the Springback Compensation Editor:

3. Server - Setup for Benderlink's ability to respond to commands from the bender.
