AutoPol Design & Unfolding

AutoPOL for Windows

The software concept AutoPOL for Windows is a modern 3D CAD system for design and unfolding of sheet metal components.  

The whole concept is based on three different modules that together gives the most value, but can be run separately. A brief description of each module is found below. 

AutoPOL Designer creates 3D models and flat patterns of parts you design by yourself, for example brackets, boxes and profiles. Right from the start you can adapt your design to the machinery and tools you want to use.

AutoPOL Piper is for creating ductwork. It generates 3D models and flat patterns of piping sections, for example square-to-rounds and t-pieces, simply by entering desired dimensions in a dialog box.

AutoPOL Unfolder is used to import 3D models created by someone else in any other CAD system. After importing, just select the unfold command, click the model and the flat pattern is calculated.

AutoPOL for Windows will provide with all the manufacturing data that is required. After the model has been imported or designed you easily dimension the 3D model and the flat pattern. The flat pattern is then exported to your Machinery , via a specially configured DXF file, for manufacturing. This file can be used for e.g. nesting, NC code generation and/or bend simulation.
