An article contributed by our company has been published in the March issue of the Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun's "Press Technology." Please take a look. [Feature] Simulation Technology for Advancing Press Forming [Case Study Explanation] ■ Pursuing Precision in Automotive Parts Using Press Forming Simulation Kenichiro Ito, Marco Crivelli A, AutoForm Japan "By utilizing AutoForm-DieDesigner and AutoForm-Sigma early in the design phase, we can systematically and quickly implement everything from feasibility assessments to appropriate design change proposals at the point when the initial product shape is released. All tasks related to shape modification, calculation execution, evaluation, and feasibility confirmation introduced here were completed in half a day (4 hours)." [Function Explanation] ■ Case Study on Springback Reduction Using AutoForm-Sigma Hironori Imai, Takayuki Yamamoto, AutoForm Japan "In this case, as a result of applying the robust feasibility workflow, we achieved a 65% reduction in the tryout to mold modification cycle without any special adjustments, simply by confirming the basic seven items, resulting in a defect rate during mass production that is about one-thirtieth."
