Overview
The original remains the reference.
Bendex AI is the new, fully web-based application for custom folded parts and sheet metal profiles. AI reads technical drawings, orders, photos and hand sketches, recognises profiles with bends, angles and flange lengths, and proposes editable 2D profiles – including quantity, length, material and coating from your master data.
Every suggestion is linked to its source detail and reviewed in 2D and 3D. Send the draft to customers for approval via a review link, create a PDF quotation, or send it directly to Bendex Enterprise Suite as a quotation or order.
Try it · Simulator
Sketch in, profile out – and you stay in control.
Try it with sample data: analyse a document, review and accept suggestions, obtain approval by QR code and create a PDF quotation.
Simulation with sample data – companies, people and addresses are fictitious. Uploads, approvals and exports are simulated; no data is transmitted.

Bendex AI + Bendex.web
Bendex.web provides the communication foundation.
Bendex AI recognises profiles in your documents. Bendex.web connects them with your customers and Bendex Enterprise Suite. That is why Bendex AI currently requires a Bendex.web system.
Already using Bendex.web? Bendex AI builds directly on it. If not, we will be happy to advise you on combining both extensions.
