With more than 50 OEMs and over 1000 suppliers as customers, AutoForm is recognized as a key strategic partner in the die-making and sheet metal forming industries. Customers rely on AutoForm to deliver innovative technology that produces real improvements in cost, quality and time.
“Without AutoForm, almost everything that we do in the field of sheet metal forming today would not be possible. With this modular system, we are able to support all of the important stages of our processes, from process engineering and calculation in the quotation phase to generation of die faces.”

“Quotations have also become more precise and more reliable in terms of calculations, which is a decisive factor for us. The entire process runs much more smoothly and deadlines are no longer endangered. We can now give our customers binding deadlines for high-quality parts.”“In addition, we have increased the quality of the parts while at the same time reducing the number of correction loops, which often accounted for 40 percent of throughput times. We are now up to five times faster in simulation and quotation preparation.”

“The most powerful thing about AutoForm software is that it takes away much of the pain of the classical finite elements and lets you work with the creative stuff to think how to manufacture the part and determine the process (and not worry about how to do the simulation). This is quite important.”“We need to decrease the time spent on making die sets etc. It takes too long to simulate/model the complete process, on the CAD side, and more needs to be done, faster. AutoForm-DieDesigner helps us to do this in certain applications for simultaneous engineering work. This saves us a huge amount of time (probably 50% or more of time) for geometry creation.”

“It is a very intuitive tool for creating processes and the commands that are used are very versatile. Since it is a program designed specifically for the metal stamping sector, it allows us to save time at the same time as optimizing the design. With just two AutoForm-ProcessDesignerforCATIA editors we are able to extend facets creating most of the draw die.”

“AutoForm solutions applied to progressive die design has allowed us to evolve from handcrafted processes to an industrialised method.”“Truth be told, thanks to AutoForm, we expanded the variety of parts we produce today, and thus extended our market.”“We now produce parts that we could never have produced without AutoForm simulation in short amounts of time.”“No matter what happens, I can definitely say that AutoForm is an integral part of the DNA of our company, and will always be part of it, as long as this company is in business.”

“With AutoForm-HemPlanner, the hemming operation could be planed efficiently, and typical hemming defects that occur during the hemming operation could be successfully addressed.”“The results achieved by the hemming team were exceptional, and AutoForm software aligned with our actual results. It proved to be a valuable tool for early product development.”

“AutoForm has huge potential for us in the sheet metal forming environment. The AutoForm-Sigma software allows us to simulate actual production conditions.”“Working in the press shop, validation of the AutoForm software is clear as we see actual conditions on the panels that are highlighted by AutoForm simulation. Basically, it provides a more systematic approach, rather than ‘it’s a black art’ mentality.”

“We’ve used AutoForm since 2011, and are especially happy with the features and computation speeds. We can perform six to 10 iterations in a day on some parts where, before, we would get one.”“We dropped the project into AutoForm and modified the process to develop the tip and addendums to better attack springback. We saw a big benefit in using simulation for this springback challenge.”
