Bend-Tech EZ3D Software
Bend-Tech EZ3D is a 3D CAD software solution for tube and pipe fabrication, expanding on the 2D design capabilities of EZ. In addition to various other designers, it enables three-dimensional tube modeling through an intuitive 3D interface featuring the Tri-Star directional system. Integrated bend calculations provide precise cut lengths, bend locations, rotations, and angles in a full 3D environment. As a 3D CAD software platform for metal fabrication, EZ3D adds spatial visualization and expanded design control without the complexity.

Designers
Design Single Parts with Precision.
Single parts are modeled and dimensioned before fabrication begins, reducing the guesswork needed to achieve accurate parts.
Sketch 3D
Sketch in 3D – Design parts efficiently with intuitive click-and-draw tools.
Work Across All Planes – Switch between X, Y, and Z planes for full design control.
Snap for Accuracy – Use grid snapping to align bends and dimensions precisely.
Custom Part 3D
Step-by-Step 3D Design – Enter values directly into the Tri-Star and instantly see parts update in real time.
Visual Precision – Verify dimensions and directions while building for complete control.
Automatic Bend Calculation – Angles and rotations are generated automatically for accurate, bend-ready results.
Harpoon 3D
Fast, Flexible Creation – Ideal for quickly designing and testing new part ideas without complex setup.
Interactive 3D Design – Click, drag, and shape parts directly in 3D.
Drag-then-Type Precision – Rough in designs visually, then enter exact dimensions for accurate final parts.
Sketch 2D
Click and Sketch - Draw parts directly on the screen.
Adjustable Grid Snapping – Align and shape designs with accuracy.
Edit Anytime – Change dimensions or angles instantly without starting over.
Custom Part
Build Step by Step – Start at one end and enter distances and bend angles to shape each part.
Input Exact Values – Use known dimensions to generate a perfect match to real-world designs.
Apex or Tangent Lengths – Choose the input method that best fits each workflow and part setup.
Templates
Start Instantly – Choose from pre-built templates for common part shapes and save setup time.
Customize Easily – Adjust dimensions or angles to fit your exact needs.
Stay Consistent – Ensure accuracy and repeatability across multiple parts.
Manufacturing Tools
Control Every Cut, Bend, and Adjustment.
Bends are planned and simulated within the software, drawing from tube, pipe, die libraries to confirm bend order and cutoff before the part is bent.
Tube and Pipe Library
Centralized Material Database – Store all tube and pipe specifications in one convenient place for faster setup.
Customizable Settings – Specify outside diameter, wall thickness, weight, name, and unit of measure for each material.
Reliable Consistency – Ensure every part is based on accurate, standardized material information.
Die Library
Centralized Die Management – Store and organize all dies for quick, easy access.
Calibrate Your Bender Dies – Calibrate bender and dies based on our extensive OEM list for the most accurate results.
Post-Bending Cutoff
Cutoff Calculation – Die limitations allow for the calculation of the bend cutoff.
Adjust Bend Locations – Bend positions are updated to account for added cutoff length.
Simplifies Production – Avoids issues with parts being too short to clamp in a die.
Bending Simulation
Visualize Every Bend – See the bending process step by step before running parts.
Confirm Manufacturability – Verify that part and bend order are production-ready.
Streamline Production – Identify and correct issues digitally before reaching the shop floor.
Bend Order Manipulation
Full Bend Control – Choose the order of bends to match machine setup and workflow.
Flexible Sequencing – Bend from either end, flip between bends, or create a fully custom sequence.
Reduce Errors – Plan bends ahead of time to prevent rework and wasted material.
Bending Calculations
Simplify Tube and Pipe Bending.
Receive precise bend data instantly with built-in calculation tools that take the guesswork out of tube and pipe bending.
Bend Calculation Output
Eliminate Guesswork – Accurate calculations simplify every bend and ensure accuracy.
Save Setup Time – Reduce trial and error and speed up bending workflow.
Production-Ready Data – Automatically calculate cut lengths, bend locations, rotations, and angles.
System Requirements
Bend-Tech software requires an active internet connection to activate the license on your computer, and then again every 6 months. SE software can run offline once activated. Don’t have internet connection? See Dongle Key option.
