[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.
