Line/Transfer die stamping technology enables carmakers to produce parts that have the required dimensional accuracy and surface quality and have no splits or wrinkles. At the same time, tight production deadlines must be met and the overall lead time and costs must be reduced. The decision to produce a part in progressive die or transfer die is dependent on the size, complexity and volume of production.
Using AutoForm software, you can easily identify and solve stamping issues such as wrinkles, splits, springback and excessive thinning/thickening of the sheet during forming. AutoForm software enables you to rapidly and accurately simulate the entire stamping process, including drawing and secondary operations as well as springback. As a result, you can get deep insights into the stamping process and all the information that is necessary to design the process. Through rapid evaluation and verification of multiple alternative concepts, you can select the one, which will allow you to produce parts that meet your specific quality and cost goals.
