New ProFold Demonstration and Training Guide for AutoCAD and KeyCreator is Now Available
Applied Production, Inc. has published a new ProFold Demonstration and Training Guide for AutoCAD and KeyCreator. For companies who work with sheet metal parts, ProFold is completely integrated into AutoCAD, KeyCreator, and CADKEY. From installing and licensing to unfolding a sheet metal model in one operation, the demonstration and training guide is a must to get up and running using the ProFold software as quickly as possible. A variety of sample parts are used to illustrate several features of ProFold and give you a feel for how the program works.
If you are just looking at the ProFold software, the ProFold Demonstration and Training Guide is a great way to become familiar with the features to see if it is right for you and your company. If you already use the ProFold software, this guide is a great way to further reduce your programming time. You may download the ProFold Demonstration and Training Guide as well as a 30-day trial of the ProFold software at http://www.AppliedProduction.com/download.htm .
ProFold simplifies the unfolding process, allowing you to draw the part in KeyCreator, CADKEY, or AutoCAD and develop the correct flat pattern. By using the information already in a sheet metal model, errors are eliminated. Engineers and designers use ProFold to create accurate flat pattern layouts faster and easier, saving valuable time and helping manufacturers meet tight production deadlines. Solid models are easily unfolded in ProFold Solids. Introduced in 1985, ProFold Wireframe was the first software to unfold 3D wireframe models in a CAD system. ProFold Wireframe also allows you to fold a 2D wireframe part. ProFold stores your material and bend parameters in a database and automatically applies this data to the bends in your part. An interactive tree displays all the bends of the part, allowing you to fine-tune the parameters for each bend.
