Sheet Metal Stamping Simulation

To be relevant in manufacturing today, you know it’s essential to constantly up your game. It’s crucial to the success of your business to integrate the latest technology, equipment, lean practices, management strategies and green solutions into your daily operations. The question is: how do you fit it all in when the world is changing at light speed, information is coming at you from all directions, and your resources are stretched to the breaking point?

"Engineering operations of companies in most industries...are under increasing pressure to more quickly design, manufacture and launch new products in the marketplace in response to ever-shorter product lifecycles and greater demand," and are further responsible for keeping the company innovative. But "leading companies are succeeding by augmenting their existing engineering capabilities with outsourced services to meet today's product development needs, while reducing operating costs, and positioning themselves for sustained high performance," he writes, and provides a list of examples from various industries. "Embracing outsourced services as part of the company's growth strategy will give companies the ability to stay ahead of the competition and remain on the path towards high performance in an increasingly challenging, global market."

Thank you to everyone that came and visited us at both MetalForm Mexico and Eastec. It has been a hectic few weeks for us travelling all over the country side to do these shows and meet with new (and existing clients). Don't forget, we will also be at Fabtech later on this year.

Greetings from Mexico City. 

We're at the end the the second day here at MetalForm, and so far the response we have received has been outstanding. The people here seem to really understand how simulation can benefit them in their business. It seems that Mexico will become a huge growth area for our company, and we are excited about the prospects in the very near future.

We are passionate about simulation and the benefits it can offer to your business. Here is your chance to test us out.

For the month of May, send us one of your problematic parts and we will simulate it for you to show you how simulation matches reality.

Not only that, just for doing so, we will give you:

$50 iTunes voucher + $500 account credit

For the month of April, we will translate your CAD files - for free!

Simply email us your file and we will send you back the translated files. Of course some terms and conditions apply, so read on for all of the information.

Free Forming Analysis for March!*

For the month of March, we will simulate the main forming process (one forming station) to check for common metal forming problems like wrinkles, splits and springback. If problems are found, we’ll show where and why they occur.

You’ll receive AVI and JPG files showing the simulation, thinning and formability of your main forming process, for no charge.

3D Printing Makes Simulation Take Form - 3D Color Print now available with each Simulation.

Zurich, Switzerland, October 23, 2008: AutoForm Engineering GmbH, the leading supplier of software solutions for the sheet metal forming industry, has announced a new enhanced version of EasyBlank.

This new version provides a quick feasibility evaluation of the part that also includes an FLD diagram. Users of EasyBlank can now check their product for stamping concerns and perform suitable countermeasures prior to tooling fabrication.

Press Release Zurich, Switzerland, July 21, 2008: AutoForm Engineering GmbH, the leading supplier of software solutions for sheet metal forming industry, has announced an enhanced version of EasyBlank.

This enhanced version adds more value by extending the capability of EasyBlank via a new add-on module, which enables the import of various native CAD files.

StampingSimulation.com, the industry’s leading provider of Pay-as-You-Go AutoForm simulation services, announces the delivery of its new 3D reporting tool, designed to make the interpretation and interrogation of sheet metal forming simulation results even easier.

The new 3D technology allows all job data to be embedded within a single Adobe Acrobat PDF document, giving customers the ability to measure, manipulate, view and extract their results within a single document, providing easy distribution to those who need it, using only the standard Acrobat Reader application.

Often it is difficult to judge when a sheet metal product design can be successfully formed in a single forming process. Using forming simulation, it is possible to simulate alternative forming processes prior to committing to tooling fabrication.

By using StampingSimulation.com's Pay As You Go Services, Minnesota Tool and Die Works were able to achieve their goal of making good parts at first tryout, by utilizing virtual tryouts to develop and engineer a successful forming process.

Based on our recent survey of the industry, it has been confirmed that sheet metal forming simulation technology provides significant benefits to those who have taken up the technology.

61% of respondents agreed that "Sheet metal forming simulation technology is cost effective and always results in a net benefit at the end of a tooling project" while the remainder were yet to experience the technology for themselves.

We have recently released the latest update to EasyBlank and those who have subscribed to the regular mailing list may have come across something they did not know: EasyBlank generates blank shapes as a CAD file and not just as a picture on your screen.

Zurich, Switzerland, July 13, 2007: AutoForm Engineering GmbH, the leading supplier of software solutions for the sheet metal forming industry, has announced a new release of EasyBlank. This new version with its enhancements specifically meets the requirements of the US market.
