PNCalculate | New version | Calculation and bending simulation

News, 4. March 2025

The latest version of PNCalculate has been updated with a new user interface and some important improvements to enable even more accurate calculation of production prices for sheet metal components in the future. When uploading, a feasibility check and a bending simulation are generated immediately, allowing you to check directly in the browser whether and how the part can be produced. This allows you to create even more accurate quotations for your customers.

‘PNCalculate’ from WiCAM is a browser-based application that was developed to calculate the costs of sheet metal parts and assemblies precisely down to the cent. Users can upload individual components or entire assemblies in various file formats, which are analysed and simulated by the application. This comprehensive analysis enables a feasibility check that covers both 2D and 3D.

‘One of the latest highlights of PNCalculate is the 3D bending simulation, a feature not found in our competitors on the market. During the calculation, our integrated bending simulation enables an interactive feasibility check directly in the browser. Users can click through individual bends and immediately receive detailed simulations customised to their specific bending machine and tools used. Potential collisions and forming problems are visualised directly and a comprehensive feasibility check is carried out.’

Mr Christian Steigelmann, Head of Technical Support at WiCAM GmbH
