Manufacturing Platform Features

1. Press & Stamping Engineering

Calculate punching and blanking tonnage, optimize punch-to-die clearances, size stripper springs, calculate press shut heights, and model uncoiler loop dynamics.

2. Progressive Die Design & 3D Strip Layout

Design multi-station progressive dies in interactive 3D. Calculate progression pitch, carrier webs, station spacing, and strip utilization.

3. Sheet Metal Forming & Bending

Accurate bend deduction, bend allowance, K-factor calculation, minimum bend radii, and springback overbend prediction across mild steel, stainless, and aluminum alloys.

4. Deep Draw Engineering

Calculate limiting draw ratios (LDR), percentage reductions per stage, cup blank sizing, and troubleshoot common draw defects like earing, tearing, and wrinkling.

5. Machining & Shop Operations

Calculate cutting speeds and feeds (SFM to RPM), chip loads, tap drill sizes for UN and metric threads, thread engagement depths, and bolt circle coordinates.

6. GD&T & Quality Inspection

Evaluate true position with MMC bonus tolerances, calculate worst-case and statistical (RSS) tolerance stack-ups, and verify conformance to engineering drawings.

7. Production & OEE Metrics

Track Overall Equipment Effectiveness (Availability, Performance, Quality), calculate parts-per-hour, cycle times, and optimize press room scheduling.

8. Material & Tool Steel Reference Database

Comprehensive metallurgical database covering 27 tool steel grades (D2, A2, M2, CPM series) and extensive sheet metal production specs with chemical, physical, and heat treat data.

9. QuoteFORGE CPQ & Stamping Quoting

Generate rapid part and die manufacturing quotations, compute scrap rates, model multi-station tooling amortization, and export customer-ready estimates.
