Developed by Planit as a total CAD/CAM solution for the sheet metal industry, the latest release of Radan, 2009 R2, is supporting the company’s drive for the generation of digital prototypes. Encompassing design, manufacture and production control for all sheet metal components and products, Radan 2009 R2 has gained full certification from Autodesk for use with its Inventor 2010 CAD software.
Radan 2009 has been fully certified for Autodesk Inventor 2010 under the Autodesk Inventor Certified Applications Program. Certified applications have to meet predetermined implementation guidelines and must demonstrate the highest levels of robustness, quality and interoperability when working with Autodesk Inventor software. Full certification is only granted after a product has been thoroughly tested by internal staff at Autodesk.

Commenting on news of the certification, Planit’s chief technology officer, Russell Franks, says: “Radan’s ability to seamlessly load and manipulate Inventor models, provide Global Network Licensing, and support a corporation’s ‘design anywhere/build anywhere’ initiative, making it a business critical system for many Inventor users. So, this Certification is significant to our mutual customers.”
The fact that the latest release of Radan is fully certified under the Autodesk Inventor Certified Applications Program will allow designers and other users of Inventor CAD software to confidently take full advantage of the latest and most recent enhancements made to Radan.

Russell Franks states: “Radan has a long history of working with Autodesk and other CAD partners, developing its design to manufacture software (DTM) to make it easier for customers get the most from their 3D designs.”

Radan extends the digital prototyping philosophy into manufacturing, enabling users to see how their prototypes will be machined and allows early identification of any potential manufacturing problems before they happen on the shopfloor. Autodesk Inventor 3D mechanical design software provides a comprehensive set of CAD tools for producing, validating, and documenting complete digital prototypes.

There are extensive developments in Inventor 2010 for sheet metal manufacturers including Unfold/Refold workflows, lofted flanges and rip features as well as contoured rolls, enabling users to define complex sheet metal parts that include rolled formed sections.
Autodesk Inventor 2010, with its exciting new sheet metal features, combined with Radan CAM software provides the ultimate in cost-effective digital manufacturing for companies working with sheet metal. Both Radan and its sister software from Planit, Edgecam, provide complementary support for the generation of digital prototypes by allowing any design to be manipulated in a manufacturing/production environment.
“The ability to design and produce the cutlist saves tremendous time and that is what it is all about. One of the builders that I do work for has his clients come and sit down and 'tweak' the kitchen to their exact desires. For a (client) to 'see the cabinets' has sold more jobs than I can tell you. ”
