Reduce the number of physical prototypes by anticipating manufacturability of stamping die process.

Stamping Die Engineer is a Role for Sheet metal stamping die design. This role increases productivity by guiding users from the conceptual planning through to detailed tooling design of complex stamped sheet metal parts. It provides specific set of functions which enable to connect forming, spring back simulation results to stamping die design while producing high quality morphed Surface for compensation.

• Stamping Die Engineer provides concept method planning assistant for non CAD experts,

• Enables seamless integration between concept and detailed design to minimize design duplications,

• Cuts cost by reducing the need for physical die prototypes,

• Specialized features for die face based on design best practices accelerates high quality surface design,

• Specialized and global deformation features to manage spring-back & structural tool compensation process from simulation results.

 Finally the complete integration within the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform allows work concurrently in teams on the same project.

Benefits

• High productivity with specialized wizard and features

• Intuitive and process oriented

• Facilitate design for manufacturing collaboration with early process engineering

• Die face method planning

• Conceptual die surface design to enable quick validation based on simulation

• Simplify and automate the tool compensation process from simulation inputs

• High quality surfaces for manufacturing

• Compensate complex manufacturing deformation effects without need to re-design  the Product or its Tooling

• Connect Simulation results from any discipline (mechanical, fluid, heat, …) to Product Shape Definition

• Produce high quality morphed Surface with unchanged topology.

• Cut costs by reducing the need for physical prototypes to validate Products.

Highlights

• Define and easily modify the concept method planning (stamp process flow)
• Seamless integration between concept and detailed design to minimize design duplications
• Optiminize the best stamping direction 
• Quick (KPI) analysis of draft, depth and cutout for rapid deicion-making
• Specialized and global deformation features to manage spring-back & structural tool compensation from simulation result or digitized prototype
• Unfold flange as trimline or surface
• Addenda surface based on high quality surface extensions and profiles
• Efficient assembly design with Smart mechanical components
• Intuitive and process oriented
• High productivity with specialized wizard and features
• Anticipate the formability of stamped sheet metal parts
• Realistic results on Multi material part
