The Most Accurate Blank Development Tool for Estimators and Tool Engineers in SolidWorks 50 times faster and more accurate (1.4% vs 10% inaccuracy) than manual calculations with full associativity to native geometry Accurate material cost in minutes for budget integrity Reduce material costs and number of prove-out trials 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 sw_gold_logo FEATURES: Fast and accurate blank shape generation Capable of accurately unfolding specific features such as flanges while preserving surrounding geometry Graphical display of material thinning and gathering,addresses initial product and process feasibility Automatic mesh generation Customizable materials database provides flexibility required to analyze virtually any component HTML-based report generation summarizes the process and provides valuable engineering data for quoting and estimating FTI's proven Coupled Hybrid Inverse (CHI) solver correctly accounts for bend allowances even with non-linear bends Extremely simple user interface fully integrated into SolidWorks
