It enables users to quickly and easily evaluate part and process feasibility as well as determine blank shape and spring back for sheet metal components. It identifies formability problems (splits/wrinkles) enabling users to implement design changes earlier in the product life cycle, saving time and money. Before releasing data to tooling, engineers run FASTFORM® Advanced to assess formability risks and optimize material usage. It considers component or tool geometry and accounts for material properties, friction, binder, addendum, blank holder force, pad pressure, draw-beads, and tailor-welded blanks.
It enables users in all departments from costing, to design to the shop floor to quickly and easily evaluate part and process feasibility as well as spring back for sheet metal stamped components. Product Design identifies formability problems enabling engineering changes to be made earlier in the product life cycle, saving time and money.
It is a software solution that combines the capabilities of FASTBLANK, BLANKNEST, PROGNEST & OPTIMIZER. This enables Cost Engineers to develop quotations and estimates for piece part costing by creating precise blank shape developments, performing initial formability risk assessment and establishing target costs for sheet metal components.
It combines the power of FTI’s premier formability analysis, blank development, and blank nesting tools with specialized product and process optimization tools that help identify design changes that reduce material costs while significantly reducing the number of engineering design changes caused by formability issues.
It combines the power of FTI’s premier formability analysis, blank development, and blank nesting tools with specialized product and process optimization tools that help identify design changes that reduce material and processing costs. It creates a documented process plan including press requirements and determines number of operations, tonnage, and detailed costing for transfer, tandem, and sheet metal progressive dies.

It creates a documented process plan including press requirements and determines number of operations, tonnage, and detailed costing for transfer, tandem, and progressive dies for sheet metal forming.
It enables cost engineers to quickly create and morph die face designs to accurately capture the true metal forming process. Drawn components require extra material (die face) to allow the required metal flow. In just a few minutes, SCULPTURED DIE FACE quickly and easily creates hundreds of surfaces to represent the first form draw and thus provides more accurate blank shapes for drawn panels. This is essential for determining accurate material costs and scientifically estimating tooling costs.
