Home / CAD/CAM Software for Tube Bending and Laser Tube Cutting
TubeWorks from Unison can ‘unbend’ its bent tube CAD models into flat or straight configurations for laser cutting holes and cut-outs.
For tube bending, the software automatically extracts key manufacturing information such as bend angles and rotations from a native SolidWorks model or a common CAD file such as STEP, IGES or ParaSolid and creates the bend table for immediate use on a CNC bending machine, as well as the XYZ coordinates and a 2D drawing of the modeled tube.
A new version of the TubeWorks tube bending CAD/CAM software from Unison Ltd (Scarborough, UK) now provides tubular metal fabricators with powerful pre-production tools for laser cutting as well as tube bending. Developed by the software consultancy 3DCompound Ltd, TubeWorks is a specialist add-in module for the popular SolidWorks mechanical CAD package.
By combining powerful visualization capabilities with automatic code extraction and file generation, the software enables metal fabricators to substantially increase the productivity of their tube handling operations through optimal use of manufacturing data. The time that it takes to develop programs for CNC tube bending and laser tube cutting machines, for example, is typically reduced from hours to just minutes.
For tube bending, the software automatically extracts key manufacturing information such as bend angles and rotations from a native SolidWorks model or a common CAD file such as STEP, IGES or ParaSolid and creates the bend table for immediate use on a CNC bending machine, as well as the XYZ coordinates and a 2D drawing of the modeled tube.
Version 2.6 of TubeWorks extends this functionality significantly, by enabling users to ‘unbend’ the CAD models of bent tubes into flat (or straight) configurations containing full details of all holes and cut-outs, to provide the input data for laser tube cutting machines. Manually flattening a CAD model of a bent tube part requires specialist skills and is a notoriously time-consuming and potentially error-prone task. For example, flattening the model of a tube part that features five or six multi-plane bends and a couple of holes could take a designer several hours. In contrast, achieving this using TubeWorks merely involves a few mouse clicks and takes about 30 seconds.
As well as automating the extraction of manufacturing data, TubeWorks offers numerous functions to further help users minimize the pre-production design time of machine-based tube cutting and bending. These include automated centerline creation through tubular geometry (for both round and non-round profiles) and automated conversion of imported tube models into native SolidWorks models for CLR (centerline radius) modification.
Two new ‘Power’ functions are designed specifically to help users overcome a commonly encountered problem where SolidWorks does not recognize the tube face of an imported model as cylindrical, which makes centerline creation more time consuming. The Power Centerline function enables users to create a centerline sketch simply by clicking on appropriate features of the displayed model, while the Power Recreate function can be used to quickly reinstate model data from a centerline sketch.
The latest version of TubeWorks also now offers an automated Deduct Length function that enables users to shrink flattened tube configurations simply by specifying the required length change and the point at which it should be applied, to compensate for the elongation shown by their coordinate measuring machine (CMM). They can then immediately create a new YBC file for the bending machine and a new ParaSolid file for the laser tube cutting machine.
Alan Pickering, the chief executive officer of Unison, points out, “TubeWorks has proved very popular with tube manipulation companies for speeding their quotation and production procedures. The addition of laser tube cutting functionality means that the software will now appeal to an even wider customer base, especially if they are seeking to reduce design-to-manufacturing times by handling all tube bending and cutting operations in-house.”
TubeWorks is a fully integrated add-in for the SolidWorks CAD package and is available exclusively from Unison. It eliminates the need for any additional software to generate manufacturing data for the design, development and production of tubular metal parts, while providing completely unfettered access to SolidWorks’ powerful design functions.
Unison has one of the most extensive portfolios of tube bending technology in the industry. As well as an exceptionally wide range of bending machines, handling systems and automated work cells, the company offers productivity enhancing software tools covering every aspect of tubular metal fabrication, from design and manufacture through to final inspection. Proprietary products include the powerful PC-based Unibend Office and Opt2Sim 3D simulation software for offline creation, test and validation of bending programs, as well as a unique calculator app for evaluating bending machine tooling that runs on Apple’s iPhones, iPods and iPads.
Unison also distributes the VTube-STEP and VTube-LASER software produced by Advanced Tubular Technologies, Inc. (Holly, MI). These packages simplify the creation of production-ready programs for tube benders using CAD data; VTube-LASER extends this capability by allowing data from coordinate measuring machines to be used for bend correction or reverse engineering purposes.
Unison started in business by developing control systems for metalworking machinery – supplying a number of prominent machine manufacturers in the 1970s and 1980s. In 1991 the company moved into machinery design, focusing on machines for tube bending. At that time, tube bending machines were powered hydraulically. In the early 1990s Unison developed a range of machines employing electrical servo-motors for controlling bending motion. These were the world’s first ‘all-electric’ machines for tube bending. The performance of Unison’s new machine design, with its fast and repeatable software-controlled set-up, right-first-time action, low power consumption, and quiet and clean operation, was an instant success.
The company has progressively led the tube bending machinery industry by increasing the tubing diameters that can be formed using all-electric motion and is now one of the world’s leading manufacturers of tube bending machines and associated software. In 2014, Unison took another quantum leap in tube bending machine power by developing a servomotor-powered machine architecture that is capable of bending thick-walled piping with diameters of 225 mm and more.

Metal fabricators who use SolidWorks CAD software can now accelerate the pre-production phase of tube bending by using a new add-in from Unison.
TubeWorks features a fully searchable tooling log that enables users to quickly check which bending tools will be needed for producing a part.
Unison tube bending machines are backed by software tools that enable users to quickly create production-ready programs.
Unison has launched a PC-based CAD/CAM product for tubular metal fabricators who use SolidWorks CAD software that, according to the company, enables them to reduce order processing and pre-production development time from hours to minutes.
The software add-in, called TubeWorks, automatically extracts key manufacturing information, including tube specifications and CNC bending data, from both native SolidWorks models and common CAD file formats such as STEP, IGES and ParaSolid. It can handle tube models with round (tube and bar), square, rectangular, oval or flat-sided oval cross-sections.
Unison secured exclusive worldwide sales for TubeWorks from its developer, 3DCompound Ltd., a UK-based software consultancy that specializes in the development of third-party value-added products for SolidWorks. The company was founded by an accredited SolidWorks Elite Application Engineer with an extensive background in CAD and tube bending technology. It produces a variety of software tools, ranging from macros to fully integrated add-in modules.
According to Alan Pickering, Managing Director of Unison, "Automating the extraction of manufacturing data from CAD files helps bending machine users to create production-ready programs much more quickly and efficiently. TubeWorks will provide our customers with an enormous competitive advantage and is an important addition to our growing portfolio of software tools. As well as offering a smart solution for metal fabricators seeking to accelerate their request-for-quotation (RFQ) procedures, the software will help companies with in-house bending machines to reduce design-to-manufacturing times."
3DCompound's Managing Director Ali Jani said, "We chose Unison as a partner because its innovative culture matches well with our own. Unison's all-electric tube bending machines are widely regarded as some of the best in the industry, enabling companies to push performance boundaries in metal tube fabrication. Our new TubeWorks add-in is designed with the same principles and for the same markets. We believe that the software provides users with a unique and powerful means of enhancing the productivity of their tube bending operations."
"The TubeWorks add-in is fully integrated into SolidWorks, allowing users to take full advantage of the CAD software's powerful design functions, and eliminates the need for any additional standalone solutions for generating manufacturing data during the design, development and production of tubular parts," said a company spokesperson. "The add-in software is inherently intuitive and easy to use, requires no special training and can be mastered within 10 minutes."
In addition to its manufacturing data extraction capabilities, TubeWorks offers a variety of functions to further help users minimize the pre-production design time of machine-based tube bending. These include automated centerline creation through tubular geometry (for both round and non-round profiles) and automated conversion of imported tube models into native SolidWorks models for CLR (centerline radius) modification. The software also extensively automates the generation of 2D drawings, as well as the creation of reports for the YBC data that will be used to control the bending machine and for the XYZ coordinates of the modeled tube.
To help maximize flexibility and ease of use, TubeWorks is fully functional in a multi-body part environment. A searchable tooling log enables users to quickly check the types of tools - such as bend former, mandrels, wiper dies, etc. - that will be necessary for a particular bending operation, while a tooling recommendation function verifies whether a part can be produced using existing tools, or suggests suitable substitutes. The software also includes a tube length calculator, which evaluates the total length of tube that will be needed for fabricating the specific formed part.
