BlankWorks provides SolidWorks users with a fully integrated tool for developing optimal blank shapes for complex sheet metal designs. It accounts for material stretch and deformation as well as bending and can flatten any SolidWorks geometry. In addition to blank development, BlankWorks also provides a contour plot indicating the thickening and thinning that results from the forming process. This tool can be used to assess the feasibility of a part for manufacturing. BlankWorks is specifically designed for estimators, tool and die designers, engineers and account managers.
BlankWorks Features:
•Fast and accurate blank shape generation
Graphical display of material thinning and gathering addresses initial product and process feasibility
Customizable materials database provides flexibility required to analyze virtually any component
HTML-based report generation summarizes the process and provides valuable engineering data for quoting and estimating
Extremely simple user interface fully integrated in SolidWorks
