PNBend Update | Processing Z-bends • from 2D to 3D

News, 3. November 2025

Our latest version of PNBend – Bending Simulation, a software module of the PN4000, includes several important enhancements that expand the functionality of the programming and bending process.

The most significant new feature is the implementation of a function for the automatic detection and calculation of Z-bends.

More Information

This update makes PNBend even more comprehensive and efficient. New features such as the following are particularly noteworthy:

• Automatic detection of Z-bends
• Merging of Z-bends into a single bend
• Automatic determination of Z-tools
• Automatic generation of a 3D part from a 2D part
• Transferring erroneous 3D parts to 2D, correcting them, and regenerating the 3D part

These and other new features effectively demonstrate the importance of automation in sheet metal processing and the central role that a modern software solution plays in taking manufacturing to the next level.

With PN4000 from WiCAM, all major machine manufacturers can be controlled, including Trumpf, Bystronic, LVD and many more. This makes WiCAM a future-proof solution that ensures maximum flexibility for a wide variety of production environments and promises its customers a partnership with them for the future.

Blechexpo 2025 Review

WiCAM presents innovations for power nesting routines, bending simulation, and calculation of PN4000 at Blechexpo 2025 in Stuttgart.

Apfel GmbH has been programming with the WiCAM CAD/CAM system since 1999

Nesting is also very important here to ensure optimal use of the sheet metal panels. A maximum material waste of 10% was determined here.
