Manufacturing data such as : exact unfolded contours, machining profiles (for punching, cutting and bending) are automatically and immediately available in DXF  IGES, DWG ... formats capable of being read without being redrawn in your CAM systems. Powerfull 2D draft functions are also included as standard functions. TOPbend  with Free D.O.M. gives you the power and flexibility of interactive parametrics and variational functions freeing you from pre-existing constraints. With its powerful functions, it's quick and easy to build an assembly and disassemble it to try out several solutions without changing geometry. TOPbend is available in several languages (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese...) and runs under Windows, Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows Millenium. TOPbend lets you import and export files in standard DXF, IGES, DWG... exchange your projects and hand over the manufacturing to sub-contractors equipped with a CAM system, knowing that the quality of your part will be maintained.
