From Design/Concept to Try-out
For any given metal forming process, it is possible today to conceive everything in a virtual engineering equivalent from detailing customer requests to virtually inspecting the final product, as well as setting-up the production facilities. This includes material cost estimation, die design and feasibility, part design validation and tooling design and forming processes.
Below you will find a selection of the milestones and elements of a virtual stamping engineering process which will work with stamping simulation software and solutions from ESI - from sheet metal stamp simulation to style, design, part and die production – and beyond.
