What Radan B.V. does
Radan B.V. (legal entity Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence B.V.) is a Netherlands-based software business unit that develops RADAN, a CAD/CAM platform purpose-built for the sheet metal fabrication industry. The company is incorporated in Eindhoven on the Brainport Industries Campus and operates as a subsidiary of Hexagon AB, the Swedish publicly listed conglomerate, within its Manufacturing Intelligence division.
The RADAN platform is a modular suite covering the full sheet metal workflow: 2D/3D design and unfolding (Radraft, RADAN3D, Parametrics); CAM for profiling/cutting (RadCAM Profile, Radtube, Radm-ax), punching/nibbling (RadCAM Punch), combination machines (RadCAM Combi), and press brakes (Radbend CAM, with dedicated variants for RADAN 3D, SolidWorks, and Autodesk Inventor); true-geometry nesting (Radnest); DNC machine connectivity (RADANDNC); production management (Radimport, Order Manager, Machine Manager); and quoting/calculation (WebQuote, SomaCALC). The portfolio is reinforced by an extensive library of machine-specific post-processors for cutting, punching, combination, and bending equipment.
Radan monetizes the suite primarily through software licenses with associated maintenance contracts and customer support, generating recurring subscription and support revenue. Distribution is executed globally through an authorized reseller network surfaced via a 'Find a reseller' portal, supplemented by remote support (TeamViewer), a customer support portal, training programs, and participation in industry events. The company is vertically focused on the sheet metal fabrication industry and positions itself as one of the world's leading CAD/CAM systems in that segment. Local staffing is lean at 9 employees, reflecting a product-and-channel operating model rather than a direct-sales-heavy footprint.

Radan B.V. competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Autodesk: Autodesk offers Inventor HSM/HSMWorks CAM and Fabrication CAD/CAM products within a much broader design software portfolio. It competes with Radan at the CAD/CAM interface and is the maker of one of Radan's key integration partners (Inventor).
- Dassault Systèmes: Dassault Systèmes provides DELMIA and CATIA manufacturing solutions and owns SolidWorks, the second major CAD platform that Radan integrates with. Its broad portfolio overlaps Radan's CAM and bending offerings at the enterprise level.
- Siemens Digital Industries (NX CAM / Solid Edge): Siemens provides NX CAM and Solid Edge CAM for part manufacturing and sheet metal workflows, offering a broader PLM/MES-integrated alternative to Radan's standalone sheet metal CAD/CAM stack.
Direct peers
- Bystronic (BYSOFT): Bystronic combines laser/cutting machinery with the BYSOFT CAD/CAM software portfolio for sheet metal fabrication, directly competing with Radan's RadCAM Profile, Radnest, and bending modules across the same workflow.
- Trumpf (TruTops): Trumpf is both a leading machine tool OEM and a CAD/CAM software provider through its TruTops suite for sheet metal cutting, bending, and tube processing. It competes head-on with Radan for OEM-tied and independent fabricators alike.
- Vero Software: Vero Software is a Hexagon-owned CAD/CAM brand serving metalwork, woodworking, and stone fabrication. It is a sister brand to Radan within the same parent and competes in adjacent fabrication segments with overlapping CAM and nesting technology.
- Alma (AlmaCAM): Alma provides AlmaCAM, a CAD/CAM suite for sheet metal and tube fabrication that directly overlaps with Radan's profiling, punching, bending, and nesting offerings. It serves the same customer base of metal fabrication shops with comparable functionality.
- Lantek: Lantek is one of the most direct competitors to Radan, offering a CAD/CAM and MES software suite specifically for the sheet metal fabrication industry, including cutting, punching, bending, nesting, and quoting modules. Both companies target the same vertical with comparable product architectures.
Emerging players
- PTC (Creo / Onshape): PTC offers Creo for CAD/CAM and Onshape as a cloud-native CAD platform; both increasingly intersect with Radan's domain by adding CAM and sheet metal capabilities targeted at next-generation fabrication shops.
Regional players
- Zünd: Zünd builds digital cutting systems and associated software for sheet and material processing, competing with Radan in CAD/CAM-driven cutting workflows, particularly within packaging, signage, and industrial cutting markets.
