AutoForm Engineering GmbH has unveiled its latest software version. AutoFormplus R5, the new product line’s fifth release, is designed to further streamline sheet metal forming. This release is a result of further advances in AutoForm’s complete software suite and enhances all the important aspects of Comprehensive Digital Process Planning.
AutoFormplus R5 brings powerful improvements which facilitate users in accomplishing their objectives along the sheet metal forming process chain. This release offers more planning options and contains new valuable features to support planning tasks for progressive die stamping. These features enable the user to easily define and visualize a strip concept as well as to estimate the material cost.
In addition, the process plan can now be edited directly on the geometry in the 3D view, which makes modifications to the process definition much easier. Information and data created in the process plan are directly accessible in the AutoForm data file and sharable with other engineering groups. By propagating the full process plan downstream, high consistency in the engineering process can be ensured and advanced feasibility analyses can be accelerated.
AutoFormplus R5 excels with powerful new tooling features. Die face creation to support the definition of drawing and secondary operations is enhanced. A new type of geometry modification allows for the generation of well-defined preform geometries. Enhanced flange development options make it easier to consider subsequent trim and flanging operations during draw die modeling. AutoFormplus R5 allows users to bring their design concepts to reality more easily and also provides solver improvements which are beneficial for result accuracy and speed.
Dr. Markus Thomma, Corporate Marketing Director of AutoForm Engineering, stated: “Our latest software version AutoFormplus R5 is designed to further streamline sheet metal forming. This is easy-to-use, customer-tailored software with a wide range of new features and improvements for digital planning and validation of sheet metal parts. AutoFormplus will be available on the market in fall 2013.”

What do our customers say about AutoForm?
Without AutoForm, almost everything that we do in the field of sheet metal forming today would not be possible.
Philipp Nüschen Manager Engineering at HERU Werkzeugbau GmbH & Co. KG, Germany
By using AutoForm software, we are faster and more accurate than ever before. At the same time, we are able to save time and cost, which is of great value for us as well as for our customers.
Eduardo Oliveira CEO at EPALFER, Portugal
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. This is quite important.
Kristoffer Trana Technical Expert, Stamping Feasibility at Volvo Car Group, Sweden
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.
Elio Falco CEO at FARA Stampi S.r.l., Italy
We are really happy with AutoForm software – we use its DieDesigner, Trim and Sigma modules. We are also looking at using its hemming software in the future.
