Logopress [exclusive] -

Logopress revealed that the tearing was not caused by the bend radius, but by insufficient material flowing from the flange. The solution? A small "relief notch" cut into the blank during Station 2. Logopress simulated the fix in 20 minutes. The physical tool was modified, and the next tryout produced perfect parts. The savings: $48,000 in scrap and 3 weeks of lead time.

The module automatically estimates localized thinning and wrinkling tendencies across the part geometry. 2. Strip Layout Optimization logopress

The heart of progressive die engineering lies in the strip layout—a sequential plan showing how a metal strip moves through a press, being cut, bent, and formed at each station. Logopress Strip automates this labor-intensive task. The designer defines the progression direction, pilot pin locations, and lifters; the software then populates stations with standard components (punches, dies, guides). Crucially, it provides real-time collision detection between the strip, the tooling, and the lifters as the strip advances. This module reduces a task that once took days of manual checking to hours of interactive validation. Logopress revealed that the tearing was not caused

Deep drawing often requires draw beads (ribs) to control material flow. In Logopress, do not model the physical bead. Instead, use the "Restraint Force" feature on the binder surface. This simulates the friction of a bead without remeshing the solid geometry, saving hours of solve time. Logopress simulated the fix in 20 minutes

: Access to an extensive library of parametric templates for plates, springs, nitrogen cylinders, and fasteners from various brands.

The engineer imports a customer’s 3D model (say, an automotive bracket). Using Logopress’s "Unfolding" wizard, the software asks: What is the material type? (e.g., Aluminum 5052). What is the friction coefficient? The user inputs this data, and Logopress calculates the initial flat blank.
