CAD
|
We maintain licenses of SOLIDWORKS 3d CAD software. This is our preferred platform for Solid Modeling and CAD. We have been using Solidworks since 1998 (21 years). Solidworks can import and export most CAD file types.

|
We have been users of Logopress3 die design software since 2004 (15 years). Logopress3 is a powerful "add on" that works within Solidworks to expedite part development, strip layout, die design, and simulation of die kinematics.

We maintain licenses of AUTODESK software that include:
|
CAM
|
We have multiple seats of D.P. Technologies ESPRIT cam software. ESPRIT is a very powerful CAM software with Automatic Feature Recognition and allows us capture and re-use machining technology for Knowledge Based Machining strategies.

Metal Forming Simulation/Analysis
|
eta DYNAFORM
|
We are licensed users of Dynaform die system simulation software. Dynaform can interactively mesh tool and blank surfaces then deploys LS Dyna to solve finite element analysis of forming strains with an incremential multi-step solver. Dynaform can predict wrinkles, splitting, thinning, edge movement, blank shape, forces required, and other useful information during the design stage with a high degree of accuracy and confidence. Knowing the information gained from “virtual tryouts” allows us to reduce the likelihood of encountering problems upon tryout of the actual die after construction.

Estimating / Quoting
|
We are licensed users of Costimator. Costimator is a powerful database driven program that allows us to very closely estimate cost for projects.
