5 reasons why CADMAN Suite 9?

CADMAN® Suite 9 is LVD’s new intelligent, integrated software solution that optimises the complete manufacturing process flow from “Art to Part”. Built from the ground up, it delivers smarter problem-solving, intuitive operation and robust professional solutions. With tightly integrated modules and enhanced CADMAN-B bending, CADMAN-SIM robot bending and CADMAN-F panel bending software, CADMAN Suite 9 simplifies programming, improves production efficiency and accelerates setup and changeovers.

One Software Suite. One Connected Workflow.

Smarter Tool Optimisation

When a task is sent from CADMAN-FLOW to production, the software automatically optimises the tooling setup. By intelligently adapting the number and length of tool segments, CADMAN reduces unnecessary tool changes on the machine. Tool setups can also be saved and reused for future programs, ensuring consistency and reducing preparation time for repeat jobs.

The result: fewer tool changes, shorter setup times and more productive machine time.

One Software. Multiple Technologies.

Different technologies, one powerful software environment. Solutions for the press brake and panel bender created in CADMAN-FLOW are directly available in CADMAN-3D. Robot programming is integrated as well, eliminating the need for separate programming software. CADMAN-FLOW delivers real-time visibility of production status and machine workload.

One package. One workflow. One connected solution.

Designed for Simplicity

Upload your 3D file into CADMAN-FLOW and let the software do the work. The optimized solution is automatically generated and made available for production.

The modern and intuitive CADMAN-3D environment makes it easy to review and fine-tune programs, with quick access to tooling, backgauge positions, and EFL settings.

A modern user experience that makes advanced programming accessible to everyone.

More Automation. More Reliable Solutions.

One of the key objectives in developing CADMAN SUITE 9 was to eliminate false-positive solutions, programs that look correct digitally but cannot be produced on the machine. And we did it.

CADMAN SUITE 9 delivers more automated, more reliable, and production-ready solutions, significantly reducing the risk of unusable programs.

What CADMAN calculates, you can produce.

New Software. Same LVD DNA.

CADMAN SUITE 9 may look and feel completely different, but the expertise behind it remains unmistakably LVD. Decades of bending and manufacturing know-how, built through extensive internal testing and close collaboration with our customers, are embedded in the software. Every solution is calculated with production in mind, because a program is only valuable when it works on the machine.

But CADMAN SUITE 9 is far more than a new look. A completely new software architecture brings new features such as tool optimization, automatic tool holders and automatic pre-bends, while faster calculation engines generate more solutions in less time.

New architecture. New possibilities. Same LVD DNA.

CADMAN Software to Streamline Sheet Metal Fabrication

All CADMAN products are Industry 4.0 enabled and work together as a fully integrated software suite, seamlessly connecting business systems, production data, programming software, machines, and operators. This digital connectivity enables real-time information sharing, smarter decision-making, and greater control over the entire fabrication process.

CADMAN-FLOW

CADMAN-FLOW is the single point of access to the complete software suite, seamlessly linking all CADMAN software modules. It offers an API to import parts and production orders, automates part programming workflow, provides real-time machine status and other capabilities so so that users benefit from all the advantages of networked production. Easy to learn and operate, CADMAN-FLOW is so intuitive, training is minimal even for new personnel.

CADMAN-3D

CADMAN-3D serves as the central visualization and editing environment for production solutions generated by CADMAN-Flow. It allows users to review, validate, and optimize programming results in a 3D environment. Depending on the manufacturing process, CADMAN-3D integrates seamlessly with CADMAN-B for bending, CADMAN-F for folding, or CADMAN-SIM for robot simulation, providing a complete and connected workflow from programming to production.

CADMAN-B

CADMAN-B is the industry’s benchmark for bend CAM software. It automatically determines the optimal bend sequence, bend program, tooling, tool and gauge positions, and generates an accurate unfolded development each and every time.

CADMAN-F

CADMAN-F for panel bending imports 3D part files, automatically analyzes the geometry, and generates an optimized bending sequence based on the capabilities of the panel bender. The software connects to real-time machine data and tooling information, ensuring that programs are always based on the latest machine configuration and production parameters.

CADMAN-SIM

CADMAN-SIM is an intelligent programming software solution for robotic automation press brake cells. It automatically calculates a bending solution, collision-free robot path, gripper positioning and part handling in less than 10 minutes. It eliminates the need for robot teaching and facilitates “art” to “part” in under 20 minutes.

CADMAN-L

CADMAN-L for laser cutting imports 2D files, creates an automatic nest and then connects to the real-time technology files available on the laser machine. As a result, the NC program is based on the latest technologies ready for use on the machine. Automated functions include optimized sheet utilization, microjoints, fly-cut, remnant creation and collision avoidance.

CADMAN-P

CADMAN-P optimizes programming for LVD punch presses. It features punch sequencing macros, automatic tool selection, common and non-common line punching, and complete support for complex punching and forming with optimization of tool changes.
