Since its introduction in 2002, VGP3D has continued to gain new value-add capabilities as a direct result of BLM GROUP's long experience in tube and wire bending. Now after 20 years, VGPNext, the new programming software for tube and wire benders, offers entirely new features that mark a turning point with the past. Here are some of them:

Bending tool management software for tube fabricators
Jul 28, 2021 11:58:00 AM
Someone not familiar with the tube bending process is unable to imagine the complexity of maintaining the bending tool sets and using them to meet the production department’s requirements. This complexity is further multiplied when using different tube bending machines with different characteristics and needing sets to be tooled in time, whether the production batch is small or large.
