AutoForm-Incrementalplus incorporates highly advanced technology to address the challenges of today’s quickly changing and increasingly competitive market place. It demands a variety of innovative and high quality stamping products while at the same time, cost reduction and ever shorter delivery times are imperative. AutoForm-Incrementalplus is specialized for the rapid and accurate simulation and validation of the complete stamping process. All of the Top 20 automotive OEMs and most of their suppliers have selected AutoForm-Incrementalplus as their software of choice. AutoForm-Incrementalplus rapidly and accurately simulates and validates all operations in the sheet metal stamping process: drawing, restriking, trimming, flanging, springback and hemming. The latest technological achievements combined in AutoForm-Incrementalplus enable users to address complex issues that arise in practice and to achieve a new level of competitiveness. AutoForm-Incrementalplus brings innovative features and benefits: Precise tryout simulation of deep drawing, restriking, trimming, flanging and hemming operations Comprehensive results including formability, surface quality and springback Final validation of tool and process design before tool manufacturing Rapid verification of multiple new concepts for quality and cost improvements Most accurate tryout results with fastest turnaround time The state-of-the-art technology which is used across a broad spectrum of applications has made AutoForm-Incrementalplus the most highly recognized and widely used software in the automotive industry. The AutoForm-Sigma software module is specialized for analyzing and improving the robustness of sheet metal products and processes. It serves to improve and validate the forming process, and to reduce or eliminate part rejects. With AutoForm-Sigma, products and processes can be designed so that the resulting manufacturing process is most efficient and stable while meeting desired quality targets. The influence and sensitivity of design parameters are easily analyzed which leads to improved process know-how and shorter development times. In addition, statistical process control techniques can already be applied in the design phase, taking into account the noise and variability that are inherent in the forming process. Therefore, sheet metal formers can address and solve key manufacturing problems much before going into production, with obvious advantages. AutoForm-Sigma provides the following benefits: Shorter development and tryout times - because the forming process becomes more transparent and process know-how is improved More stable manufacturing processes during the entire production cycle - through identification of the process window Less plant downtime, fewer tool adjustments and fewer part defects - because of more robust manufacturing processes More robust manufacturing processes - through quality and process capability analyses AutoForm-Sigma is fully integrated into the AutoForm work environment. Unique on the market, it automatically analyzes and displays the results (e.g. influence, sensitivity, process capability Cpk) directly on the parts – no time consuming investigations of abstract numbers and diagrams are needed any more. No other software offers this new methodology which can be used by die face designers and engineers, without requiring years of specialized expertise.
