JetPro allows Pro/Engineer users to easily export sheet metal part models, including geometry and manufacturing attributes, directly to the Jetcam Expert CNC programming and nesting system.

Jerand Technical Services has released JetPro version 1.0 for Pro/Engineer Wildfire 3.0.

Pro/Engineer is a 3D product design solution that helps companies develop detailed, intuitive and realistic digital product representations.

JetPro allows Pro/Engineer users to easily export sheet metal part models, including geometry and manufacturing attributes, directly to the Jetcam Expert CNC programming and nesting system for automatic preparation of CNC programs for punching, profiling and routing.

Jetcam Expert, leading the technology in automatic nesting and CNC program preparation, supports all relevant machinery and technologies in all industries including the aerospace and automotive sectors.

"We believe JetPro for Pro/Engineer Wildfire 3.0 will enable users to maximise productivity by pairing Pro/Engineer's advanced design capabilities with Jetcam Expert's automatic nesting", said Bob Monat, President of Jerand.

Modules in JetPro include JetPro/Part, for single part export, and JetPro/Assembly, for assemblies containing sheet metal parts.

JetPro is now available for Pro/Engineer Wildfire 3.0.

JetPro features a user interface that is similar to the intuitive UI found in Pro/Engineer Wildfire 3.0, making it very easy for Pro/Engineer users to adopt JetPro.

Configuration options specify part orientation, flat pattern definition, layer definitions, manufacturing information, and assembly component selection.
