Rebuilt from the ground up, AP100 3i is a compilation of programmable software solutions created to accelerate your design-to-manufacturing processes regardless of design complexity or number of processes required.

Much like it’s predecessor, AP100, AP100 3i was created to speed your production processes and maximize your productivity. But that’s where the similarities end. AP1003i is not an upgrade. It is the manufacturing’s most comprehensive CAD/ CAM software solution — re-engineered with groundbreaking capabilities that will change the entire process of sheet metal fabrication.

3D Sheet Metal Unfold

More and more, engineering and production of finished pieces are developed from the start as 3D objects. Instead of designing flat parts in 2D and calculating how to assemble a 3D object, this excellent solid part solution designs 3D projects and renders the projects to flats and shop drawings, in real time.

SheetWorks cuts down on QC demands in your production, leveraging sheet metal industry-specific knowledge and abilities. With SheetWorks, the shop can check part feasibility and reliability prior to First Article Inspections, cutting down on scrap and loss of time, by giving accurate and workable plans for your fabrication needs.

Support for "Special Forms," bend deduction calculation, and additional crucial functions make SheetWorks the best one-stop
solution for 3D design in the sheet metal industry.
