BlankWorks
BlankWorks provides SOLIDWORKS users with a fully integrated method for developing optimal blank shapes. BlankWorks accounts for material stretch and deformation as well as bending. It is specifically designed for estimators, engineers, account managers and tool and die designers.
BlankWorks provides SOLIDWORKS users with a fully integrated tool for developing optimal blank shapes for complex sheet metal designs. It accounts for material stretch and deformation as well as
bending and can flatten any SOLIDWORKS geometry.
- 50 times faster and more accurate (1.4% vs 10% inaccuracy) than manual calculations with full associativity to native geometry.
- Accurate material cost in minutes for budget integrity.
- Reduce material costs and number of prove-out trials.
- Automatically generates a report for accurate quoting and estimating.
- Reduces Collaboration Lag.
