Material Matters: Knowing your limit
The Formability of sheet metals
Previous posts Materials Matters, "the known unknowns" and “Material plasticity visualized” covered the general aspects, common terminology, and formulation of...
Stamping System: Press speed and lubrication challenges
Lately, one of the most frequently asked questions in metal forming simulation has been “Can your software model the effects of a servo press?”...
Stamping System: Blank Shape, Size, and Location
The blank is one of the first parameters defined in a stamping simulation; it’s mechanical properties, shape, and location in the tool. However, many...
Lubrication values for simulation
We are pleased that the SME (Society of Manufacturing Engineers) Stamping and Dies Technical Group and Metal Forming Simulation Technical Group will host a...
Robust springback compensation success at Shanghai Volkswagen
Springback compensation is one of the key challenges in the field of die face engineering. We have mentioned the challenges with compensating springback several...
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,...
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. ...
Progressive die developed blank and trim line development
One of the most time-consuming and difficult-to-predict aspects of die build and tryout for progressive dies is the development and validation of the blanking...
Virtual Tryout or Process Engineering?
In simulation, there is ongoing effort to prove who can claim to be the best at “virtual tryout.” Product brochures and websites promote software...
