Sheet-metal unfolder · in the browser
Upload a 3D part, pick the base face, and download a production DXF in seconds. No CAD seat. No subscription lock-in.
Preview & unfold are always free — you only pay to download.
How it works
The whole loop runs in the browser. Load a part, check the unfold, take the DXF straight to your nest or brake.
Drop a 3D STEP/STP part. It renders instantly in an interactive viewer — no upload wait, no CAD licence, nothing to install.
Bendline finds the base face automatically, or click to pick your own. See the flat pattern with bend lines, holes, and dimensions before you commit.
Export a production-ready DXF with separate CUT and BEND layers — ready to nest, laser, or fold. Bend metadata travels with it.
Why Bendline
Same geometry class as the desktop tools — delivered in a browser, without the seat licence or the subscription trap.
Preview and unfold as many parts as you like, free, with no account. You pay per export — credits or a small monthly allowance, never a locked subscription just to look.
Beyond the DXF: a dimensioned PDF drawing with a bend table, so what reaches the press brake is a real fabrication drawing — not just an outline. (Coming with Pro.)
Automate the unfold from your own pipeline — the API is available from the low tier, not walled off behind an enterprise price. (On the roadmap.)
Pricing
Unfolding is always free. Downloads draw from a monthly allowance or a pack of credits — whichever you have. No seat fees.
Unfold and preview any part, forever. A few free downloads to get going.
Buy a pack of download credits. They don't expire, and there's nothing recurring.
A monthly download allowance for regular work, plus the API when you need it.
Final prices land at launch — start unfolding free in the meantime.
Ready when you are
No sign-up, no install. Drop in a STEP file and watch it flatten.
