Hemming feasibility
We had the honor to be selected as the computer simulation partner for a recent Auto/Steel Partnership (A/SP) study that considered the feasibility of...
Springback Compensation in Hydroformed closed section parts
For the continued growth of tube-hydroforming, better methods for creating and validating springback compensation are essential. Upcoming vehicle programs forecast increasing use of Advanced...
Material Matters: Sheet metal plasticity visualized (part 2 of 2)
As already discussed in Sheet metal plasticity visualized (part one) there are four main components needed to model the plastic deformation of sheet metals:...
Success Story: Godrej Tooling implements robust compensation
Springback of sheet metal stamped parts is a challenge faced by tooling suppliers and their customers; parts produced in stamping dies require significant effort...
The Stamping System
A recurring theme on this blog, so far, has been sources of variation in production that might not be apparent to engineers when defining,...
Springback in Tube-Hydroformed Parts
Springback in sheet metal stamped parts is an often discussed topic. However, springback of closed-section tube-hydroformed parts is addressed less often. One possible reason...
In the rearview mirror
Earlier this year AutoForm started this blog, “We Think In Sheet Metal”. Our goal: to communicate directly with you—the metal forming and engineering community. ...
Parameters for Hot Forming and Quenching: Engineering and Design
Have you ever defined a hot forming process virtually?
How do you determine which design and process parameters are required for the production...
