Is there some new property of tubing in the last 5 years?Last revision 4.5 years ago.![]()
You could put windows on the newer Macintoshes without too much trouble. The older ones require an emulator program to do it plus a copy of windows as well. For that kind of price you would probably be better off buying a crappy, used PC and leaving it in the shop to use bending programs, stream music, etc.I believe you can put windows on Mac's so you could use either of these programs.
Just an idea,
I lean towards solid works, but then again I've never used bend tech or anything else.
The cheapest solution is just paying attention in geometryTo me, bend-tech is the affordable package!
Remember you don't get only software you get support :smokin:

I guess you are right, software isn't needed. We should go back to modeling everything on graph paper, all prototypes and drawings should all be done by hand :flipoff2:The cheapest solution is just paying attention in geometryI've only had to redo one tube so far, the math of bending is pretty easy with nothing more than a tape measure and angle finder.
i've never dealt with the bendtech guys, but from what i've seen on this board, they are pretty stand up people. why don't you give them a call and tell them your info. i'd be surprised it they didn't help you get your copy back/get another copy.I bought a version of bendtech and really liked and used it. UNFORTUNATELY, it was installed on an old win95 laptop (which made it easily portable) the machine crashed, and the thing has/had some kind of key code, and since I cannot "uninstall" it from the crashed comp, I am dead in the water as far as using the Bendtech. When I bought it, they were supposed to have cool updates on their website with new(er) bends, but that never happened. I have kind of given up on the whole thing.
I highly recommend that you call Cris and talk to him about it. He will help you get back up and running. 1-651-257-8715I bought a version of bendtech and really liked and used it.
