Lantek, global leader in sheet metal manufacturing software, has introduced a major enhancement to its A2N (Assembly to Nesting) component with the automatic importation of standard bevels from 3D models. This new feature, available in version 44, is designed to streamline workflows for users working with bevel-edged sheet metal parts typically used in welding preparation. Until now, bevels had to be manually defined after importing 3D files into Lantek Expert. With this new functionality, A2N can now detect standard bevel types directly from the 3D geometry and automatically assign the appropriate technology during the import process. This eliminates the need for manual editing in the Drawing Module and significantly reduces preparation time while ensuring greater consistency and precision. The bevel detection feature is seamlessly integrated with both Lantek Expert and Lantek MES/Integra, allowing users to import complete 3D parts or assemblies while maintaining all necessary manufacturing information. Support for imperial units and new
