Solutions for Progressive Die Stamping

Design and manufacturing of dies for progressive die stamping

First-time-right production through intelligent process layout and accurate die design & manufacturing

Progressive die stamping demands cost-effective, high-quality processes. Hexagon software validates a part’s manufacturability and provides an integrated 3D toolchain for both an efficient process layout and accurate die design. Combined with machine tool measurement, this ensures first-time-right production.

Formability, material and tooling cost estimation

Rapid simulation of product or draw development geometry that identifies issues with splitting, wrinkling, thinning and springback, in addition to flat pattern development, nesting, and method planning for cost estimation. Reduce time to market and save re-work costs by minimizing downstream engineering changes caused by formability issues. Estimate manufacturing costs more accurately in less time.

Capabilities

Virtual costing and manufacturing

Progressive die design and manufacturing

Integrated 3D process chain to unfold part models, design and manufacture the dies and compensate springback, combined with project management for the manufacturing of the dies. Reduce the design and tryout cycle time by helping the designer with an intelligent process layout and die design for first-time-right production.

Capabilities

Manufacturing Project Management

Dimensional Analysis

Machine tool measurement for die manufacturing

Measure directly in the machine tool to control workpiece alignment, dimensions, temperature, and tools, and use optional automated feedback loops to control the machining process. Reduce time and handling effort for setup, in-process checks, avoiding costly errors related to tooling, alignment, and manual measurements. Automate processes ensuring highly productive machining.
