QuickBend: Conduit Bending 4.1.2

QuickBend is a conduit bending calculator app that offers speed and precision. It is designed with innovation and intuitive features while maintaining a visually appealing interface. The app utilizes advanced algorithms to provide accurate measurements, taking into account factors such as the radius of the shoe and bender, as well as the conduit type and size diameter. These measurements are generated using the centerline radius algorithm, which has undergone rigorous testing in the field. The bends displayed within QuickBend are also generated using the same engine.

Developed by an experienced electrician, QuickBend is suitable for professionals, novice users, and DIY enthusiasts working with conduit or tubing. The app is designed to prevent common mistakes, saving both time and money. In addition to precise calculations, users have access to detailed information and documentation for individual bends. The app provides explanations on specific features and step-by-step processes for bending conduit.

QuickBend offers an intuitive method for inputting data, allowing users to quickly focus on their desired calculations or explore different bending possibilities. Two different input styles are available: a number pad or a slider bar (Press & Slide), each with their unique advantages. Users can also toggle between three different types of measurements: inches, foot + inches, and centimeters.

Included within QuickBend is QuickCheck, which subtly changes text colors to indicate whether a bend is impossible (red) or unlikely to work (orange). This feature allows users to assess bend feasibility before tapping on the bend amount.

The app supports a wide range of bends, including offset bends, rolling offset bends, matching bends offset, matching centers offset, parallel offset bends, three-point saddles, four-point saddles, 90° bends, kicks with 90° bends, matching bend kicks, matching center kicks, parallel kicks, compound 90° bends with circle obstructions, compound 90° bends with rectangle obstructions, compound 90° bends with square obstructions, and segmented 90° bends.

Furthermore, users have the ability to lay out multiple bends on a single conduit and obtain measurements for each mark on the conduit. Additionally, individual or sets of marks can be easily flipped per bend.

QuickBend provides a limitless experience by allowing users to quickly select between different types of benders and choose the shoe size and conduit type on the same screen. Navigation is simplified, and frequently used benders can be pinned for quick access without the need for constant scrolling. All benders are spec'd out using manufacturer-provided information. In the rare case that a specific bender is not available, users have the option to add their own bender. There is also an option to use the multiplier method if a bender is not selected.

The 'Bender Specs' feature allows users to edit and view specifications for all of their benders. Detailed information on centerline radius, deduct, gain, setback, travel, and radius adjustment for any degree bend up to 90° can be visualized and edited within this feature.
