Williams Tooling Case Study

Case Study: Williams Tooling. The client provided solid models of a two stage forming process and required simulation to determine feasibility and blank developments.

Introduction The client provided solid models of a two stage forming process and required simulation to determine feasibility and blank developments.

The predicted splits were countermeasured by adjusting the DRAW form shape in the localized problem area and allowing it to be re-struck in the 2nd Form. Using simulation, it was shown that this was a successful countermeasure.
