3DQuickForm

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 the perfect production design tool for die designers. Users can either import different types of CAD data or build die geometries in the 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 tryouts. The built-in mesher is automatic and allows user adjustment to meet user needs in different situations. Tool designers may fully concentrate on the die design processes and virtual tryouts. Simulations are run in a project-driven manner and support multiple projects, thus streamlining design feasibility study, process simulation, and optimization. Simulation results are displayed to show the initial blank shape, different material thickness, and stress/strain distribution. The 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.
