CAD Preprocessor - Tool for pipe fabricators

CAD Preprocessor offers the ideal solution to calculate the FPB (Feed Plane Bend) values for pipe fabrication. It extracts the XYZ coordinates from pipe designs with uniform diameter and converts it to FPB. CAD Preprocessor does complex mathematics for you thereby making your life simple.

Import a pipe design file in CAD Preprocessor to find out the bends and its 3D XYZ coordinates. The coordinates are extracted from the pipe geometry using complex algorithms. The extracted coordinates are then converted to FPB values quickly.

CAD Preprocessor reads and analyses pipe design files to find out bend parameters in 3D coordinates
