[Customer Case] Achieving "One Shot" in Prototype Mold Production for Small Lots and Diverse Products

Achieved "one-shot trial" in about 70% of the total! Realized an average reduction of 4 days in construction time and a decrease in man-hours.

We would like to introduce a case study on the implementation of "AutoForm-Compensator" for correcting mold shapes based on the calculation results of springback. At Saitama Body Co., Ltd., which specializes in prototype production and parts manufacturing for four-wheeled and two-wheeled vehicles, the correction of anticipated springback has become a challenge in the production of molds for prototypes using high-strength steel sheets ranging from 590MPa to 1200MPa, which have been on the rise in recent years. Currently, after modeling in CAD, the correction for anticipated springback is incorporated into the mold model, which is modified and created based on simulation analysis results, all executed within AutoForm's simulation to reduce labor hours. [Case Overview] - The increase in high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel sheets has made the correction of anticipated springback a challenge. - The speed of correction is crucial for small-lot, diverse prototype molding. - A significant reduction in lead time and labor hours has been achieved with "one-shot trials" in about 70% of the presses. - Satisfaction with analysis speed, with expectations for further improvement in analysis accuracy. *For more detailed information about the case, please refer to the related links. Feel free to contact us for more details.

Case studies on efforts to improve analysis accuracy using reverse engineering techniques.

Introducing a case study on efforts to improve analysis accuracy using AutoForm-ProcessDesignerForCATIA.

In recent years, reverse engineering of molds has played an important role in product development and production processes. Molds significantly impact product quality, cost, and delivery time; however, much of the manufacturing process still relies on craftsmanship, and there are various challenges in the efficiency and digitalization of mold development. For example, there may be inconsistencies between molds that have been hand-finished on-site and mold development data, or even if one wants to verify defects or improvements of existing molds on 3D digital data, there may be no data that matches the actual product. Additionally, maintaining repeat molds can require excessive labor hours. This article introduces efficient mold reverse engineering methods and application examples utilizing our solutions. *For more details, please refer to the related links. Feel free to contact us for more information.

[Customer Case] Press processing company reduces trial time by one-third.

A case where the number of tryouts was reduced from 20 to 6, and the time spent on process evaluation was also shortened.

We would like to introduce a case where the design and development process was significantly streamlined at India Steel Summit, a mold manufacturer based in Greater Noida, India. By conducting robustness analysis to ensure stability during engineering, we determined a strategy to achieve the desired part accuracy while ensuring reproducibility of results. Utilizing "AutoForm-Compensator," we not only corrected springback predictions but also performed draw shell operations on molds from the second process onward during engineering, avoiding issues caused by sheet lifting and pad forming. By digitizing springback prediction corrections, we were able to conduct preliminary review work during the engineering phase before adjusting the actual molds during tryouts. **Results** - The introduction of digital springback prediction corrections significantly streamlined the design and development process. - The number of tryouts was reduced from 20 to 6. - The time spent on process evaluation was shortened from several months to several weeks. *For more details on this case, please refer to the related links. Feel free to contact us for more information.*
