AutoForm-ProcessDesigner R13.0.0.2 | Process Planning & Preliminary Stamping Simulation Software
AutoForm-ProcessDesigner R13.0.0.2 is a specialized module within the AutoForm suite, focused on the early-stage planning and rapid feasibility assessment of sheet metal forming processes. It enables process engineers to quickly evaluate part designs, estimate costs, and define robust manufacturing strategies before detailed die engineering.
Core Functionality Overview:
-
Rapid Feasibility & Cost Estimation: Quickly assesses part manufacturability, identifies potential forming issues, and provides early cost estimates for tooling, material, and production based on part geometry.
-
Process Sequence Planning & Simulation: Allows users to define and simulate basic multi-stage stamping sequences (draw, trim, flange) to validate the overall process strategy and highlight critical areas for die design.
-
Early Material & Blank Optimization: Integrates with material databases to evaluate different grades and performs initial blank contour development, supporting data-driven decisions for material selection and cost reduction.
