Blank development using FASTBLANK - Click for full size imageFASTBLANK 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."
Randy Taylor - Johnson Controls Inc.

"Woodstock Stampings Inc. increases efficiency and expands operations 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

Blank development in CATIACATBLANK 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• Reduce material costs and number of prove-out trials with full regeneration to reduce risk of downstream misuse of out-of-date analysis results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.
