We would like to introduce a case where Starq Y-Tec Co., Ltd. significantly reduced the man-hours leading to the final product by utilizing "AutoForm Assembly." We verified whether the software could accurately reproduce defects and challenges that may arise in the assembly process. Additionally, actual parts were measured before running the simulation. We compared the simulation results with the actual measured values of the parts to validate the accuracy of the simulation. Measurements were taken at a total of 104 locations, with 80 locations showing a difference of less than 0.5mm, and among those, 56 locations had a difference of less than 0.3mm, demonstrating the ability to create models of very complex processes and make predictions. [Verification Details] - Can defects and challenges that may arise in the assembly process be accurately reproduced? - Actual parts were measured before running the simulation. - The simulation results were compared with the actual measured values of the parts to verify accuracy. *For more detailed information about the case, please refer to the related link.

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.

At Stellantis, we take pride in our quality, so there is no need for much explanation. However, to add a note, we are continuously reviewing our processes to achieve our goals regarding cost, lead time, and carbon neutrality. In terms of shape design, various initiatives are underway, including the reuse of existing parts, a strong commitment to "first-time quality," and streamlining processes. *For more details, please refer to the related links.

Honda Motor Co., Ltd., which was founded in 1948, is celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2023. At the Suzuka Plant, which is responsible for the production of mini vehicles, the company handles everything from the development of new models to mass production in a seamless manner. As part of the production technology division at the Suzuka Plant, the Mold Production Department's Mold Mass Production Technology Section introduced AutoForm products in 2020 and has been working to improve prediction accuracy. As a result, over the past three years, they have achieved various outcomes, including reduced time for bead setting and shortened time for wrinkle countermeasure planning. We spoke with the Mold Production Department's Mold Mass Production Technology Section within the Production Technology Division of the Four-Wheel Development Center about their efforts so far. *For more details, please refer to the related links.
