Season 3 [Fusion] Chapter 5: Mathematically Canceling the Nightmare of Mold Design "Springback"
T3Japan
In the manufacturing field of automobiles and similar industries, the dimensional deviations caused by "springback" during the press forming process have been a long-standing issue, traditionally relying on the experience of craftsmen and manual corrections. Although advancements in CAE analysis technology have made it possible to predict distortions, the task of feeding back the analysis results to the CAD mold surface (NURBS) has been a significant bottleneck.
The 3D CAD "ThinkDesign" mathematically resolves this issue using its signature technology, GSM (Global Shape Modeling). It applies the opposite vectors from the CAE deformation data in bulk, directly generating the anticipated shape without disrupting the topology, such as surface composition and G2/G3 continuity.
Moreover, even in challenging forming processes like high-strength steel sheets, it allows for the completion of the "correction and analysis" iterative loop entirely within the digital space without the need to cut prototype molds. This innovative approach elevates the know-how that relied on the intuition of skilled workers into a reproducible "mathematical solution," dramatically shortening development time and costs.

Nice to meet you, I'm Takachan, working in sales (which is more like a pre-sales role) at ThinkDesign. Usually, I listen to clients' desires for "the kind of service they want to create" and act as a bridge to translate those into a "concrete blueprint" that engineers and designers can follow without hesitation.
