AutoForm Launches E-commerce Solution EasyStamping.com
and Starts Partnership with StampingSimulation.com
AutoForm Engineering GmbH, the leading supplier of software
solutions for the sheet metal forming industry, has announced
the launch of its new e-commerce solution, EasyStamping.com in
partnership with StampingSimulation.com.
EasyStamping.com has been launched to target the needs of small
and mid-sized enterprises worldwide, and promotes the benefits
of simulation technology to the stamping industry. Simulation
is becoming increasingly important given the shift in strategy
by the large automotives towards just-in-time manufacturing and
shorter supply lines. Suppliers are now expected to take more
responsibility, provide higher standards of output and work closer
with their customer, whilst simultaneously providing price reductions.
The new platform marks an expansion by AutoForm into the small
and mid-sized market through its partner StampingSimulation.com
and features a mix of both software products and online engineering
services:
|
Software products (provided by AutoForm):
EasyBlank calculates blank shapes and material costs, and
optimizes material yield. The application is free to download
and use, and reports can be purchased online. EasyBlank rapidly
calculates the developed blank outline from CAD geometry
and determines the optimal nesting layout, using the well
known AutoForm simulation technology. The reports contain
detailed information on material consumption, thinning distribution
of the part, blank outline and optimal nesting layout. The
benefits for the user are early cost analysis, minimization
of material costs, usage and scrap.

Engineering services (provided by StampingSimulation.com):
SimulateLite allows customers to test their die face design,
and correct identified problems before production. SimulateComplete
gives customers a complete process development, starting from the
product design geometry. Both SimulateLite and SimulateComplete
are provided as online engineering services.

Mr. Andrew Bliesner, Operations Director of StampingSimulation.com
said: “Our partnership with AutoForm is an excellent opportunity
to provide our customers with a new and unique combination of
advanced simulation technology. Having unified products and services
online, we are available to our customers at any time and from
any location.”
Dr. Markus Thomma, AutoForm’s Director of Marketing stated: “Our
products and engineering services are now available online and
our partnership with StampingSimulation.com brings the benefits
of our technology to the wider industry. The best suppliers are
focused on process excellence and our simulation technology can
help by proving the design and eliminating errors before production.”
