It was published in the August issue of "Press Technology" by Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun. ■ Press forming simulation technology that reproduces the deflection of press equipment and molds Hirotaka Imai, Autoform Japan In cases where the difficulty of forming is high, digital considerations using simulation are necessary to reduce the modification labor at the mold manufacturing site. However, traditional press forming simulations treat molds as rigid bodies, making it impossible to handle the deformation of the molds themselves. Various functions are being developed to take these factors into account. This article introduces the current state of press forming simulation concerning mold deflection and the challenges for future efforts. Please take a look.
