The Most Accurate Blank Development Tool for Estimators and Tool Engineers in CATIA V5 50 times faster and more accurate than manual calculations with full associativity to native geometry Accurate material cost in minutes for budget integrity; accounts for material stretch and only technology to address forming over tight radii Reduce material costs and number of prove-out trials with full regeneration to reduce risk of downstream misuse of out-of-date analysis results Best technology to handle undercut parts; can easily save 2-4 hours of labour compared to other technologies Full associativity and regeneration enables a 70% productivity improvement in Engineering Efficiency The CAA enabled CATBLANK reduces Collaboration Lag (time to communicate a change and obtain feedback), and hence results in 50% less engineering changes, since the analysis is current with the geometry DS_V5_Software_Partner_Logo FEATURES: Capitalizes on the seamless integration with native geometry in CATIA V5 Blanks are fully associated with CATIA model, with automatic updates to reflect design changes All results are stored in the standard CATAnalysis file for ease of PLM integration Holes are precisely mapped from part to blank HTML-based report generation summarizes the process and provides valuable engineering data for quoting and estimating Graphical display of material thinning and gathering addresses initial product and process
