Press molding simulation technology that reproduces the deflection of press equipment and molds.

Current Status and Future Challenges of Press Forming Simulation Related to Mold Deflection

As a measure to reduce CO2 emissions for countering global warming, various new technologies and vehicles are being developed. Lightweighting of vehicles is expected to continue to play an important role as a long-standing ongoing challenge. While there are options for lightweighting such as full aluminum construction, particularly in Japan, further application of ultra-high-strength steel (UHSS) is progressing. However, challenges such as springback predictions have been reported, with significant issues arising from press equipment and molds deforming, making it difficult to achieve the desired shaping. This paper introduces the current state of press forming simulation related to mold deflection and the challenges for future efforts. *For detailed information, please refer to the related links.
