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 mangers, and tool
and die designers. And for CATIA V5 users the same features
are now available integrated as CATBLANK.
FASTBLANK calculates initial
blank shapes for die design and cost estimating in minutes.
• Substantially improves formability and product
quality
• Reduces material costs and number of trials in
the prove-out stage
• Accurately identifies material thinning and gathering
conditions
• Automatically generates a report for accurate
quoting & estimating
" We
save $5 MILLION per year on piece price alone by using
this software."

after implementation of FASTBLANK" ...
FEATURES:
• 50 times faster and more accurate (1.4% vs 10%
inaccuracy) than manual calculations; on average supplier
variation between estimate and actual costs is 25%
• Graphical display of material thinning and gathering
addresses initial product and process feasibility
• Customizable materials database populated with
common materials provides flexibility required to analyze
virtually any component
• HTML-based report generation summarizes the process
and provides valuable engineering data for quoting and
estimating
• Best technology to handle undercut parts; in
this case saves 2-4 hours of labour compared to other
technologies
• Extremely simple user interface - for immediate
productivity

CATBLANK
calculates Initial Blank Shapes for Die Design and Cost
Estimating in Minutes
• Quickly and accurately develops blank shapes
for both simple and complex geometries; full associativity
and regeneration enables a 70% productivity improvement
in Engineering Efficiency
• Reduce material costs and number of prove-out
trials with full regeneration to reduce risk of downstream
misuse of out-of-date analysis results
• Accurately identifies material thinning and
gathering conditions
• Automatically generates a report for accurate
quoting and estimating
CATBLANK provides CATIA users with
a fast and accurate method for developing optimal blank
shapes. CATBLANK accounts for material stretch and deformation.
It is specifically designed for estimators, engineers,
account managers, and tool and die designers. The
CAA enabled CATBLANK reduces Collaboration Lag (time
to communicate a change and obtain feedback), and hence
results in 50% fewer engineering changes, since the
analysis is current with the geometry.
FEATURES:
• 50 times faster and more accurate than manual
calculations with full associativity to native geometry.
• Holes are precisely mapped from part to blank.
• Graphical display of material thinning and gathering
addresses initial product and process feasibility.
• Customizable materials database.
• HTML-based report generation summarizes the
process and provides valuable engineering data for quoting
and estimating.
• Blanks are fully associated with CATIA model,
with automatic updates to reflect design changes.
• All results are stored in the standard CATAnalysis
file for ease of PLM integration.
