If a lead-in is positioned on a critical cosmetic edge, select the lead-in point and drag it to a corner or an internal cutout.
Click on the problematic bend line to manually change the assigned or Punch .
By systematically working through the Lean Zone automation and understanding when to step into the Tec Zone, you will dramatically reduce your programming time, lower material waste, and ensure error-free execution on your shop floor.
Broken surfaces, non-uniform thickness, or invalid radii in the original 3D CAD model.
Before diving into complex programming, it's crucial to understand the foundational elements of the software. TruTops Boost operates on a powerful dual-level concept: and TecZone .
Click Compute Sequence . The engine determines the optimal order of bends to prevent the part from colliding with the machine frame or tooling during the cycle.
TruTops Boost operates on a distinct two-level operating concept that separates high-level process management from deep geometric editing.
: Customize your processing rules in the master settings. If your shop prefers a specific lead-in style (e.g., arc vs. line) for thick stainless steel, save it as a default template rule so the Lean Zone applies it automatically every single time.
Efficient nesting and cutting strategies, such as optimal circular waste processing, minimize waste. 2. Setting Up Your Workflow: The "Home Zone"
: In the Lean Zone, select the parts crafted for the same material and thickness, then click Create Nesting Job .
TruTops Boost allows you to import native CAD files from SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, STEP, or IGES formats.
