Benderlink for SolidWorks software is designed to convert from SolidWorks to bender data then to connect SolidWorks workstations to SVNET-based benders.
If a measuring center arm is setup to sketch a 3D centerline of a measured tube shape, then Benderlink will help you reverse-engineer tube shapes, and assist in correcting the bender's data.

Features
The main features of this software:
- - Read tube data from SolidWorks
- - Convert the tube data to bender data
- - Save / Recall the bender data
- - Send new nominal data to benders that support SVNET protocol.
- - With a measureing center: Make and send correction data to benders that support the SVNET protocol.
- - With a measuring center: Reverse-engineer tube shapes

The reverse-engineering feature is performed by using 3D sketch with a measuring center - like a FARO arm. The tube centerline is sketched in 3D, then transferred to Benderlink for SolidWorks.
The correction feature is performed by measuring a tube with FARO arm, using this data to create a tube centerline in SolidWorks, then allow Benderlink to compare this inspected data with the MASTER data.
