Traditional sheet metal fabrication follows a forward-facing timeline: a part is designed, nested, cut, bent, and finally welded. If a tolerance or collision issue occurs at the final bending or welding phase, the operator must scrap the part, redesign it, and restart the cycle.
Automatically optimizes material utilization to reduce scrap and cost.
It connects the entire production chain—eliminating data silos between the office, programming department, and shop floor.
This shift moves the process from "programming" to "production planning," allowing skilled workers to focus on quality rather than data entry.
To get the most out of Amada 3i software, shops should focus on keeping their digital tooling inventories perfectly synchronized with their physical tool cribs. Regular software updates ensure that the latest cutting conditions for exotic materials or new nozzle technologies are always available to the programming team.
The suite is divided into specialized modules that handle specific stages of the fabrication process: VPSS 3i Blank CAD/CAM Software | AMADA AMERICA
Automates bending operations with features like:
It features intuitive, user-friendly graphical interfaces across both office programming stations and the AMNC 3i machine controls. Operators and programmers can easily simulate processes, modify parameters, and troubleshoot errors visually.
