3DQuickForm is a 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.
