FTI FormingSuite 2025.3 is a comprehensive software solution within the Hexagon manufacturing suite for cost engineering, process planning, and sheet metal forming simulation . It empowers engineers to optimize designs for progressive and line dies, reduce material costs, and ensure manufacturability from the earliest stages of product development .

Core Functionality Overview:

• Cost Engineering & Process Planning: Establishes and optimizes target costs for parts and tooling, generating detailed process plans with high-quality images to illustrate die actions for quoting and manufacturing operations .

• Early Feasibility & Formability Analysis: Accurately identifies safety zones, forming limit diagrams (FLD), material thinning, gathering conditions, major/minor strain, springback, and provides compensation data to validate part manufacturability .

• Blank Development & Nesting Optimization: Combines premier blank development tools with specialized nesting software to identify product design changes that improve material utilization and reduce overall processing costs
