sheet metal processing in HiSPEED
The following functions help you achieve a time-saving workflow:
Use HiCAD to model with highest precision! Powerful features give you complete control over your product at all times. Are you finished with your model drawing? Then create drawings for the production department in just a few steps, or export the results as DXF.
You want to create products for third parties or parts for own machines? Then, we recommend using HiCAD Sheet Metal for these tasks. Planning sheet metal constructions is easy and, above all, fun. For example, use a sketch as a basis and close all corners with specially designed functions! What if subsequent adjustments are required? No problem, all the functions used can be easily adapted later.
Effortlessly create shop drawings with dimensions, data, results and cross-sections! As a user you have full control over how the workshop drawings are created. Use our standards or develop your own settings for workshop drawing standards.
You can easily place your constructions or generate results, including dimensions, annotations, engravings and bend lines. Shortenings due to bending can be calculated automatically using the standard bending tables and calculations according to DIN 6935. Do you use your own bending tables? No problem, you can easily create and use them in HiCAD.
You would like to model sheet metal bending parts? Thanks to our bending simulation this is no problem! As a result, the product is temporarily displayed so that you can carry out precise machining operations. Have you finished adding machining operations? Then simply deactivate the bending simulation again.
Finished with the design? Then simply export the files for production. Think of DWG, DXF or STEP. The results are automatically provided with dimensions, contours and bend lines. Even engraving text or images is no problem!

„The sheet metal functions integrated in HiCAD have particularly promoted the increase in productivity in our company. Furthermore, errors during the design process could be minimized and thus also the faster handling of projects could be realized.“
Bernhard Gratz, Project Leader Alu
VHV Anlagenbau GmbH
„We can optimally plan and manufacture our conveyor belts thanks to HiCAD's various industry solutions. We make extensive use of the HiCAD functionalities for mechanical engineering, but also those of steel engineering and sheet metal. The possibilities of the individual modules show the user are perfectly coordinated - one function interacts with the other. This has extremely optimised our processes from planning to production.“

MAP E. Prinzing & Söhne GmbH + Co. KG | Reference report
Machine tools, sheet drawings, machine beds, machine frames for milling, turning and honing machines, boring mills, crankshaft turning lathes as well as grinding machines cover the wide range of the product portfolio from the company founded in 1913 in Gingen an der Fils. Thus it is no wonder that MAP E. Prinzing & Söhne GmbH + Co. KG counts on HiCAD to react flexibly on changing customer needs ranging from series-authentic prototype construction to economical and innovative solutions through to on-schedule serial production. 190 employees – part of which are eight constructors – carry out up to 35 projects each year and i.a. rely upon the elaborate Software by Dortmund’s ISD Group when it comes to document administration: the PDM System HELiOS.
