FTI: "Cost reduction – guaranteed"

FTI FormingSuite

COSTOPTIMIZER

Utilizes the FASTBLANK® module to produce the most accurate blank shapes possible. It also uses the BLANKNEST® module to determine how much scrap will be produced during the blanking operation. Its unique optimization capabilities help identify product changes
that will reduce overall material cost.

PROGNEST

This is powerful nesting software specifically designed for nesting sheet metal blanks on progressive die strips. It automatically calculates the best nesting layout to optimize material utilization based on coil width and pitch constraints.

BLANKNEST

Blanknest is powerful nesting software specifically designed for nesting sheet metal blanks on coils. It automatically calculates the best nesting layout to optimize material utilization based on
coil width and pitch constraints.

FASTBLANK

Provides users with a fast and accurate method for developing optimal blank shapes. FASTBLANK® accounts for material stretch and deformation. It is specifically designed for estimators, engineers, account managers, and tool and die designers.

FASTFORM

Provides product and die designers with fast formability analysis for evaluation and validation of stamped components. Try-out simulations are based on either the component geometry for early feasibility or on the full tool, taking blank holder force, drawbeads, and pressure pads into account for improved reliability. It accurately determines if a component can be stamped consistently with minimum cost, while fulfilling all product performance requirements.

FASTFORM Advanced

Provides product and die designers with realistic formability analysis for virtual prove-out of complex draw dies. Modeling and analysis can be completed in minutes, ensuring the optimal solution. Analysis is based on either the component geometry for early feasibility or on the full tool. Simulation takes into account engineering behavior, friction, binder surface, die addendum, blankholder force, pad pressure, drawbeads, and tailor-welded blanks to produce accurate results.
