- 1 minute read
Description
A new type of bending template shape has been introduced, minimising the material needed for the template.
A minimal template has a "free" edge that is parallel to the one along the plate instead of a straight line. The height of the template, i.e. the distance between the edge along the plate and the opposite one, is controlled by the new IP MINIMALTEMPLSHAPE.

Benefits
End users have the ability to configure how the resulting templates should be produced and minimise the material consumption.
Compatibility Constraints
None.
