 Exhibitions and
seminars 1998:
Also in 1998 data M is going to demonstrate
its products and services at several exhibitions and seminars throughout the world.
An actual listing is shown at: "data
M Lösungen 1998 live".
Ceramitec ´97 - 100 days
after
100 days is a period after which a statesman
usually has to strike a first balance. Why not also a company and its products? About 3
months ago data M Engineering presented its redesigned decal cutting machine
and decal aligner
for the ceramic industry - with great success.
The first impression has been proved after 100 days. Our customer Precision Studios,
England has already installed one of these new decal cutting machines at his factory in
England.
This machine is capable of cutting up to 50 sheets simultaneously and is over 70%
quicker than its predecessor.
After using the forrunner of this machine for more than 3 years, Precision are delighted
with the new machine´s performance and say ´It´ s the best thing since sliced bread
!´.
data M have already sold a number of these machines and also offer an upgrade for earlier
versions. |

COPRA MetalBender: Sheet Metal Design for AutoCAD/ Mechanical
Desktop
data M offers new versions of its software solution for design and unfolding
of sheet metal parts.
Even complex sheet metal parts
can be designed using AutoCAD and COPRA MetalBender 3D
software package.
Dialogue boxes, integrated previews and collision checks as well as the so-called
´WINDOWS-look-and-feel´ user environment are some of the effective design- and editing
features.
Design and unfolding of profiles or box-type geometries can be done easily by
COPRA MetalBender 2D.
It is tailored to users who want to work in 2D designs but also hold with 3D volume
modelling:
contours designed by CMB 2D can be converted into a solid model by CMB 3D.
COPRA MetalBender HVAC
(Heating Ventilation and AirConditioning) is a parametric unfolding library for HVAC metal
parts.
It includes the calculation of blanks with all intersection curves.
The user can choose from various options in order to define the output format (display the
blank as a membrane or layer model, intersections as continous or dotted lines etc.).
CMB HVAC is able to unfold 3D sheet metal parts designed as an AutoCAD/ AMD-internal ACIS
model: just pick the part by the cross hairs. |

Updates from Genius Sheet to
COPRA MetalBender
Please ask your dealer for your update from Genius Sheet
(the former version of CMB 2D/3D) to the actual version of COPRA MetalBender. You may also
contact us directly: mailto:datam@datam.de
The new version is compatible to Genius as well.
COPRA - rollforming on workstations into
the year 2000
Even if UNIX is - in some cases
- not predicted the best future: there are still many reasons for data M to continue
development and support this platform. The actual version has been released for
CoCreate’s PE/ME10 - Version Box and operating system HP-UX 10.20.
By the way: the magical number 2000 (new millenium) won’t be critical for COPRA
users.
One important item among the new features is the possibility to verify different down-hill
forming strategies within COPRA’s DTM (Deformation
Technology Module). Thus the user is able to check and change different forming methods in
order to reduce strain values during the roll forming process.
In addition COPRA DTM has got data import- and export functionality for data exchange with
different data software programs.
Of course, COPRA works with the new graphics-bonds visualize fx² and fx4 from
Hewlett Packard.
COPRA’s archiving functions have been adapted according to ME10-philosophy. It is now
displayed in a ME10-internal file-list. Loading and saving of COPRA-archives is being done
similar to ME10. All of the COPRA modules have been redesigned in order to make it more
user-friendly.
Also the so-called ´round to shape´ functionality has been integrated into COPRA Tube
& Pipe. This allows the calculation of sizing passes for the production of shaped
tubes.
What are you thinking about COPRA ?
Your (also critical) comments on our software products are welcome: mailto:datam@datam.de
We are looking forward to hearing from you. |

data M pulls the wires
 
COPRA now with a new software module for wire rolling
designing /
calculation of the forming steps
retrieval
algorithms for wire cross sections (fourier analysis)
scanning of
existing templates with integrated image processing
reengineering of
your forming strategies allows a recreation of your know-how sometimes fallen into
oblivion (staff changes)
Going to Wire Düsseldorf?
We would be pleased if you visit us at our booth at Tube ‘98 show
COPRA Tube & Pipe with new
features
COPRA MetalBender and
Since January 1998 Autodesk Mechanical Desktop 2.0 has
become available everywhere. The recently integrated kernel ACIS 3.0 increases performance
as well as 3D-design possibilities. data M has anounced to release its COPRA MetalBender
software also in a version for Mechanical Desktop.

Unfolding for everybody!
COPRA MetalBender ‘light’
COPRA MetalBender
Solver is the name of the youngest product in data
M’s family. CMB Solver is a software tool for everyone designing sheet metal parts
with AutoCAD 13/14. It’s a COPRA MetalBender ‘light’ not having design
libraries and not having a 3D editor.
CMB Solver is 100% integrated in AutoCAD or Mechanical Desktop. It calculates the flat
plattern - including overbending radii - of your 3D-design.
Calculation is done within seconds - taking into account the same extensive number of
machine parameters, material properties or pratical knowledges as it’s big brother
CMB 3D.
You have just to make sure that the part is a sheet metal part which (also physically) can
be unfolded. CMB Solver allows the unfolding for everyone - at a reasonable price.
Take profit from our experience! |

Ambach, Kaltern/ Italy decides
for COPRA MetalBender 3D
One of the leading manufacturers of kitchen
technology, Ambach Großküchentechnik in Kaltern / South Tirol has decided to use COPRA
MetalBender 3D from data M Software. The decision was made after a detailed comparison of
sheet metal software being offered on the market. The decisive items were - from what
technical director, Mr. Neumeister, says - following reasons:
attractive pricing
value
easy to learn and
to handle
good integration
into the existing user environment by ´windows-look-and-feel´.
fully compatible
solution for 2D as well as 3D design
convincing support
and back up service by company CADEX
Ambach is a member of the worldwide working ALI Group with companies in Canada, USA,
Germany, France, UK and Singapore. Ambach develops, produces and sells top-products for
the professional cooking where stainless steel is an essential raw material. Ambach uses
the most modern sheet metal processing technology. Therefore it is only logical that the
design department does not accept any compromises either. |
