At Ford Germany, all production parts undergo simulation. The objectives are: ● Cost reduction ● High robustness in production ● Shortening of development time To achieve these, AutoForm has been introduced throughout the entire process chain of the pressing and forming process. ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝ Ford Germany has adopted AutoForm from the early stages of product development to mass production. ● Cost reduction ⇒ Attempting to reduce time even in the prototype stage of molds, aiming for cost savings ⇒ Optimally utilizing blanks and strip materials using AutoForm ⇒ Considering the reduction of the number of processes ● High robustness in production ⇒ Implementing shape correction based on reliable calculations from AutoForm-Sigma ⇒ Changes in various conditions, such as differences in material properties, do not affect reliability ● Shortening of development time ⇒ By adopting AutoForm, which has fast calculation speeds from the early stages of product development to mass production, high-quality parts can be manufactured even with reduced development time.
