Initial assessment of moldability based solely on the shape of the part, without considering the mold shape!

"AutoForm-StampingAdviser" is software that allows for the rapid and easy execution of feasibility evaluations for parts and processes, as well as considerations of blank shapes, material yield, and blank costs. It provides feedback on quality issues related to press forming, such as the risks of wrinkles, cracks, and excessive sheet thinning, as well as evaluations of blank unfolding shapes and material costs. 【Features】 ■ Feasibility evaluation of parts and processes ■ Feedback on quality issues related to press forming ■ Predictions of blank shapes and nesting 【Main Functions】 ■ Powerful and flexible configuration options ■ Quick modifications of part shapes ■ Multiple blanking options ■ Use based on parts only or complete die shapes *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

It brings deep understanding and transparency to the molding process from the early engineering stages.

"AutoForm-Sigma" is software that enables the analysis of press-formed parts and processes, as well as the improvement of robustness. It is possible to identify which design parameters affect the quality of parts and to what extent. Additionally, if issues arise during trials or production, it supports the identification of corrective actions. Furthermore, it can also identify ineffective corrective measures and appropriate means that lead to problem resolution. 【Features】 ■ Analytical process improvement ■ Stability and reliability of the forming process ■ Robust manufacturing processes ■ Minimization of defective formed parts ■ Minimization of correction loops and associated costs 【Main Functions】 ■ Automatic variation of design parameters ■ Verification of key design parameters ■ Assessment of noise and variation range of process parameters ■ Evaluation of process capability ■ Automatic execution of multiple simulations *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

You can proceed with the operation step by step throughout the entire process!

"AutoForm-DieDesigner" is software that allows for the rapid creation of alternative designs for die faces throughout the entire press forming process. Once the die face design is created, it can be used for process simulation with AutoForm-FormingSolver. The results can be evaluated with AutoForm-Explorer. By fully integrating die face design with simulation and result evaluation, it enables the quick assessment of multiple alternative process and mold concepts, as well as the selection of optimal concepts regarding formability, quality, and cost. 【Features】 ■ Creation of concept die faces ■ Evaluation of multiple process concept alternatives through direct integration with process simulation ■ Deep understanding and verification of the entire process design 【Main Functions】 ■ Creation of parameterized die face shapes for all processes ■ Creation of excess material based on customized profiles ■ Automatic unfolding of flanges on excess material surfaces ■ Modeling of shapes using morphing technology

We will conduct a simulation of press molding using line, transfer type, or progressive type.

"AutoForm-FormingSolver" is software that simulates press forming using line, transfer, or progressive dies. It accurately and quickly simulates the entire press forming process, including the drawing process and springback and hemming from the second operation onward, allowing for verification. Once the simulation results are available, they can be displayed in AutoForm-Explorer to obtain detailed information about the forming process. 【Features】 ■ Simulation of line and progressive die press forming ■ Fast and accurate simulation of deep drawing, re-strike, trimming, flanging, and hemming processes ■ Accurate simulation of springback ■ Deep understanding of the entire press forming process 【Other Features】 ■ Rapid verification of new process concepts to improve quality and reduce costs ■ Reduced computation time utilizing SMP or MPP parallel processing technology ■ Enhanced options such as thermal effects, phase transformation, and tribology improvements *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

The blank outline is optimized so that the part boundary matches the target shape and dimensions!

"AutoForm-Trim" is a tool used in conjunction with AutoForm-FormingSolver to determine the blank outline and to examine suitable trim lines during the trim die trial-out. This software allows for the simultaneous design of draw dies and trim dies. At the end of the pre-process for the trim operation, the trim line is optimized so that the part boundaries conform to the target shape and dimensions. 【Features】 ■ Determination of suitable trim lines and blank outlines ■ Time reduction and cost savings through simultaneous development of trim dies and draw dies ■ Reduction of trial-out time for laser trimming of complex parts 【Main Functions】 ■ Automatic determination of blank outlines for near-net-shape manufacturing ■ Automatic calculation of multiple blank outlines ■ Calculation of segments for customer-specified blank outlines or cut outlines ■ Simultaneous determination of all cut-out lines for multiple cutting processes *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.
