3D Quick Press |
|
|
|
|
3D is the only solution to reduce mistakes, while
also allowing clear communication and collaboration of the progressive
die design that is unachievable in the 2D world.
3DQuickPress™ is a SolidWorks® add-on for progressive
die design. With a 3D solid model of the part, a 3D strip can be created
quickly and easily, and also be communicated clearly throughout the work
group using the free SolidWorks eDrawings™ viewer before further
detailing of the die without time wasted. |
Die Set Design
Notch Punch Design |
|
Powerful sheet metal feature
recognition technology can handle native SolidWorks®
sheet metal parts or imported data, and provides a
knowledge base for spring back and bending allowance.
Strip layout is the core of a
progressive die design.The powerful Strip Layout Manager
provides users with intuitive tools to quickly complete
the strip simply by drag & drop command with instant
graphical feedback.
Key functions:
- Optimization
- Support multiple parts
- Notch punch design
- Split punch
- Mismatch undercuts
- Partial bend
- Insert/Delete stations
- Report on material utilization and center of
cutting force
Die Set Design begins after finishing
the strip layout. 3DQuickPress™ will automatically
create all punches defined in the strip design.
Key functions:
- User definable databases
- Automatic hole creation
- Tools for component placement
- Standard components library
- Support compound die and transfer die

3DQuickQuote™
3DQuickQuote™ is a SolidWorks® add-on for
progressive die design. It provides a good
estimation of costing at the early design stage
and saves a lot of time in tedious calculation.
From the perspective of tooling manufacturers,
it not only keeps close communication with
vendors to ensure a more accurate and
professional quotation, but also guarantees the
lowest manufacturing costs for the tooling
manufacturers. Reports generated from
3DQuickQuote™ include Material Utilization,
Total Cutting Length, Total Number of Holes,
Individual Hole Perimeter, Optimized
Orientation, and many other useful data. |

3DQuickForm™
3DQuickForm is the latest powerful SolidWorks® add-in
application for inverse forming simulation. High speed, accuracy and
full associativity with SolidWorks® data are taken into
consideration to make 3DQuickForm™ a production design tool for die
designers. Users can either import different types of CAD data or
build the die geometries in SolidWorks® environment for the forming
studies. It helps OEM manufacturers, material suppliers and die
manufacturers to deliver precision tooling in the shortest time and
with minimum physical try-outs.
The built-in mesher is automatic and allows user
adjustment to meet needs in different situations. Tool designers may
fully concentrate on the die design processes and virtual try-outs.
Simulations are run in project driven manner and support multiple
projects, thus streamlining design feasibility study, process simulation
and optimization. Simulation results are displayed to show initial blank
shape, different material thickness, and stress/strain distribution.
Customizable material database allows designers to test their design
with different materials. Fully integrated with SolidWorks, 3DQuickForm™
is easy to use and rich in functions.
The powerful version of 3DQuickForm 3DQuickForm™
Advanced, provides also stamping and flanging simulation, initial flat
or initial curved bland, blank holder definition, various boundary
conditions like fixed edges/faces, drawbeads, and symmetric plane, etc.
Multiple-steps is supported as well.
