We are proud to announce that our CADMAN Suite 9 has won the EuroBLECH Innovation Award 2026 in the Advanced Manufacturing Software & AI category. The award recognises the software’s innovative approach to connecting manufacturing processes and advancing smarter, more efficient sheet metal production.

One Connected Workflow. Smarter Manufacturing.

Built around the concept of a connected workflow, CADMAN Suite 9 brings together intelligent programming, optimised tool usage and enhanced integration across the CADMAN software ecosystem. By connecting processes from programming to production, the software helps manufacturers simplify workflows, improve efficiency and achieve more reliable production outcomes.

The latest suite features enhanced integration across CADMAN modules, including CADMAN-B for bending, CADMAN-F for panel bending and CADMAN-SIM for robotic bending simulation. Improvements in usability and programming capabilities help simplify operations, reduce setup requirements and support a more streamlined manufacturing process.

Recognition for Innovation

Winning the EuroBLECH Innovation Award 2026 marks an important milestone for LVD and reflects its ongoing commitment to developing practical, forward-thinking solutions for the sheet metalworking industry.

LVD extends its thanks to everyone who voted for CADMAN Suite 9, the award organisers, and the teams whose expertise, collaboration and dedication made this achievement possible.

Two other LVD innovations were also recognised as finalists in their respective categories: Ricobb – Your Cobot Bending Buddy, designed to make bending automation more accessible, and RBS 40 Vision – Robotised Bending System with Vision, which combines robotic bending with vision-guided part recognition for greater flexibility and consistency.

Together, these innovations demonstrate LVD’s continued focus on connecting technologies, simplifying production and helping manufacturers move towards smarter manufacturing.

LVD extends its sincere thanks to everyone who voted for CADMAN Suite 9 and to the organisers, Blechnet and MM MaschinenMarkt, for recognising innovation in the sheet metalworking industry.
