Sheet Lightning is a specialised engineering 2D/3D CAD System for creating and unfolding sheet metal designs for fabrication or manufacture. It handles everything from simple cylinders, cones, rectangular ducts and ovals, to adapters, adapting any of these section types, interections between any of these types and multi-intersections of any of these types. This enables it to handle breeches, lobster-back or segmented bend and very unusual or complex one-off designs. All pieces can have centre line offset and oblique or skewed sections. Simple designs are handled with ease through a second parametric environment that requires only the typing of
key dimension values to modify the design. A library of standard designs is included. Futhermore all designs created using the full
3D system can be automatically analysed and converted to a parameteric form, then saved as extensions to the existing library. The program integrates to general CAD systems via seamless DXF transfer, exporting both 2D patterns and 3D models. The product has been provensince the earlienst version in the worldwide market place since 1990, offering truly unique design ability.
Sheet Lightning combines a strong parametric design environment, a comprehensive design library and a full 3D CAD design environment for customized design. Together they provide an unrivaled tool for design in its product area and a ability for unlimited user library expansion.

Specialised engineering 2D/3D CAD and Parametric design for mechanical engineers. Create and unfold sheet metal duct, structural steel and fabrication designs for manufacture. It handles everything from simple cylinders, cones, rectangular ducts and ovals, to adapters, adapting any of these section types, interections and multi-intersections between of any of these types to any level of complexity. Includes a predefined parametric library. Libraries can be extended by creating new and original parametric designs from CAD designs. Lobster back bends (i.e. swept or segmented), Specials etc. Includes seamless integration to general CAD systems such as Autocad, Pro/E, Cadkey, Turbocad, Solid Edge, CAM systems and others. Exports 2D and 3D solid/surface designs and 2D flat unfolded patterns. The unanimous verdict of Sheet Lightning from software, freeware and shareware reviewers is a top 5-star rating award - These are just a few of the many awards received.
