01 / Sketch
Sales · Installer · Customer
The enquiry arrives – as a sketch, site measurements or PDF.
Whether a customer’s hand sketch, site measurements or an attached drawing: draw the part by touch or mouse, select a template, import a CAD file – or let Bendex AI read the sketch.
- Freehand input by touch or mouse, even offline on a tablet
- Templates: enter dimensions and you are done
- Bendex AI recognises profiles in sketches, photos and PDFs

02 / Dimensioned

- Interactive 2D/3D view in real time
- Manufacturability checks
- Internal and external dimensions, millimetres or inches
