3DQuickForm - Inverse Forming Simulation in SolidWorksİ

3DQuickForm is a powerful SolidWorksİ add-in application for inverse forming simulation. High speed, accuracy, and full associativity with SolidWorksİ 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 SolidWorksİ 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 SolidWorksİ, 3DQuickForm is easy to use and rich in functions.
