Design and modeling
Create and adjust sheet metal parts and assemblies without overcomplicating the design work.
Bring Your Sheet Metal Workflow into One System
“One of the nicest things about RADAN is that we can program tooling at the part level. This ensures that parts set up to cut at different speeds will all cut well when nested on the same sheet.”
Sue Conley, Scheduler and Programmer
Sheet Metal Fabrication Isn’t Always Straightforward
Material costs rise, and nesting waste adds up.
Getting the most out of your sheet matters more than ever, but improving yield often feels tied to buying new machines instead of changing how work gets done.
MEET RADAN BENDING SOLUTIONS
Pull key parts of sheet metal fabrication into one place. With RADAN, teams spend less time translating between systems and more time getting parts through.
Laser and profile cutting
Program laser, plasma, flame, and waterjet machines with layouts that are ready to run.
Press brake programming
Plan bends offline and see how parts will form before they reach the brake.
Multi-axis laser work
Handle more complex 5-axis laser jobs without splitting work across tools.
Punch programming
Prepare punch jobs with tooling and sequences that make sense on the floor.
Nesting
Lay out parts to use more of each sheet and cut down on scrap.
Tube cutting
Program tube and rotary cutting as part of the same workflow.
Quoting
Build quotes based on how parts will actually be cut and formed.

Jobs slow down between systems.
As work moves from CAD to nesting to cutting to bending, small gaps appear. Those handoffs add time and uncertainty long before parts reach the shop floor.
Process knowledge lives with a few operators.
When planning relies on experience alone, results vary by operator, machine, or shift. That makes repeatability nearly impossible.
Cutting, punching, and bending processes are overly complex.
Different machines and setups make it harder to keep work consistent as part mixes and volumes grow.
ERP and MRP integration feels partial at best.
Orders and schedules exist in one system while programming and production happen in another. Teams waste time translating instead of running work.
Inconsistent production quality and accuracy across machines and shifts.
Small differences upstream show up downstream as extra checks, adjustments, and rework.
“We tested our software options and knew that RADAN was the one for us because we saw the customization that it offered.”
Nick LaVigne, Plant Manager
"We just push a few buttons and RADAN does all the heavy lifting. There may be 18 nests for one project and, in a matter of 10 minutes, we can have 18 programs ready to send to the machine.”
Zachary Reinke, Manufacturing engineer
FAQ
RADAN is sheet metal CAD/CAM software built for fabricators who need to design, nest, program, and bend parts efficiently. It’s ideal for shops looking to reduce manual steps, improve material usage, and keep production moving.
RADAN uses advanced nesting algorithms to fit more parts onto each sheet, helping reduce scrap and lower material costs while increasing output per job.
Yes. RADAN supports a wide range of sheet metal machines including punch, laser, plasma, and press brakes, allowing you to program multiple machine types from one system.
RADAN connects the full workflow, from quoting and design through nesting, cutting, and bending, in one system. This reduces handoffs, eliminates duplicate data entry, and improves overall shop efficiency.
RADAN helps standardize processes and capture best practices, so your team can produce consistent results without relying solely on operator experience.
A RADAN demo shows how your current workflow can be improved, including faster programming, better material utilization, and smoother job flow from design to the shop floor. It’s tailored to your machines and processes.
"RADAN software is key to our organization, allowing us to achieve the highest sheet utilization and streamline our manufacturing process."
