Die Face Design
helps you
- Analyze the part geometry (draft angles, depth, cutting angles ...) and prepare models, in particular to find the best possible main stamping direction as well as cutting directions.
- Generate flange unfolded surfaces (using a geometric unfolding approach) for early blank size estimation.
- Quickly create additional geometries such as automated hole filling, addendum surfaces based on profiles or opening line.
- Compensate the flange spring back with angular corrections.
- Generate trim lines based on the flanges definition, supporting addendum surface and sheet metal
properties (thickness and kfactor).
- Create a conceptual definition of the stamped part manufacturing process, with operations sequencing and their associated actions (stamp, cut, fold). The conceptual process can:
- Define flanges and cutting lines to logically organize.
- Check the result of the process corresponding to the design part and generate an update warning message in case of discrepancy.
- Generate an animation of the manufacturing process for communication purpose.
