Digitizing Metal Sheets and Tools

Metal sheet pattern digitizing is a crucial step in the production process within the metal sheet industry. Here are some effective ways engineers can tackle the task of digitizing metal templates into a CAD/CAM system:

Digitizing metal sheets and tools can be done automatically with Nhega Pattern Digitizer Softwares. The process refers to using technology to create a digital vector representation of physical metal sheets and tools, enabling their use in digital design, CAD, CAM and other manufacturing processes.

How Metal Sheet Digitizing is done: NShot-Pro Camera & NScan-Premium Scanner

NShot-Pro Camera: Place your metal sheet patterns under the camera system. Take a picture with the software. In seconds the software captures the true to size image, and vectorizes the cutline and other internal information. If necessary. use the Nhega CAD editing tools to edit or improve any vector lines. Click "Save" to save to DXF and all other major CAD/CAM systems.

Here is a demo video of the process:

NScan-Premium Scanner: Place your metal sheet inside the NScan Flatbed scanner or the NScan Rolling HD scanner. Let the software process the true to size image, and automatically vectorize the scan of the metal sheets in seconds. The Nhega CAD editing tools allow users to edit and modify vectors. Click "Save" to save to DXF and to all other major CAD/CAM systems.
