Product catalog summary
Overview
FASTBLANK is a software module designed to calculate initial blank shapes for die design and cost estimation efficiently. It enhances formability and product quality while reducing material costs and the number of trials needed during the prove-out stage. The software accurately identifies material thinning and gathering conditions and automatically generates reports for precise quoting and estimating.

Key Features
  • User Interface: The software offers a simple and logical user interface, designed for immediate productivity within a Microsoft Windows environment, complemented by excellent online help.
  • Materials Database: Includes a built-in database providing access to common materials for immediate analysis, with options to add, delete, or modify materials.
  • Geometry Tools: Provides an extensive set of tools for modifying and repairing imported surfaces.
  • Orientation and Display: Allows automatic or manual orientation of parts into the press direction and displays undercut elements.
  • Solver Speed: Most parts can be solved within 30 seconds to 5 minutes.
  • Exporting: The blank can be exported in IGES or DXF format for use in any CAD system.
  • Reports: Generates HTML reports summarizing on-screen results, which can be printed and saved.
  • Plotting: Allows plotting of a full-scale version of the blank.
