Join us for a comprehensive webinar showcasing Dynaform, which was developed in the 1990s and is an industry-leading solution for virtual die development in sheet metal stamping developed by ETA. ETA is an engineering company, serving the automotive industry for more than 4 decades with engineering design and development and with our homegrown software Dynaform.
This session will walk through the full suite of Dynaform modules designed to optimize the stamping process from concept to production. Whether you’re involved in early feasibility studies or final tool validation, this webinar will provide valuable insights into improving efficiency, reducing physical tryouts, and lowering tooling costs. We’ll explore how engineers and tool designers can leverage Dynaform’s capabilities in:
• Blank Size Engineering for accurate cost estimation and material planning
• Die Face Design for quick feasibility analysis using a newer and faster solver with similar accuracy
• Formability Simulation to predict and mitigate potential defects
• Springback Compensation to ensure geometric accuracy
• Trim Line Development for precise edge prediction
• Die Structure Analysis for evaluating tool strength and durability
• Tube Bending and Hot Forming processes for advanced applications.
Who Should Attend: CAE analysts, tool & die engineers, manufacturing planners, and anyone involved in sheet metal part development.
