Step-by-step video courses for people who program sheet metal machines. Watch at your own pace, rewatch any lesson, and follow along in your own copy of the software.

Browse courses How it works

Short, focused lessons

Each lesson covers one job in the software, so you can learn a feature in a few minutes and come straight back to it when you need it.

Real screens, real parts

Every lesson is recorded in the software itself, with each button and menu highlighted as it is named. What you see is exactly what you will click.

The whole workflow

Courses run in the order you work: set up the machine and tools, bring the part in, then tooling, sequencing, simulation and output.

A complete course in MBend, from the window to a program on your machine. We recommend completing MBend Essentials first.

  • Setting up your machine, tools and application options
  • Building and maintaining your tool library
  • The settings that decide which tools MBend chooses
  • Tooling, sequencing, simulation and NC output, stage by stage
