What is COLDFORM?
Cold forming tools endure substantial mechanical and tribological pressures during their use, which can occasionally lead to early failures. Since these tools represent a significant portion of component manufacturing expenses, it becomes essential to proactively identify and mitigate potential problems during the design stage. The COLDFORM® software provides a means to evaluate the mechanical integrity of dies, significantly contributing to their durability. It analyzes stress distribution within the die while also tracking deformations, wear, temperature fluctuations, and any potential damage that may arise during operations. Moreover, COLDFORM® facilitates rapid assessments by applying stresses obtained from the forming process directly to the tools. The software also enables coupled part/tool simulations, which results in highly precise predictions. With a focus on pre-stressed dies, it allows for an accurate evaluation of the necessary pre-stressing for the tools' interference fit. This functionality is invaluable for manufacturers aiming to enhance tool efficacy while simultaneously minimizing expenses related to tool replacements. By leveraging these capabilities, companies can ensure that their cold forming processes are both efficient and cost-effective.
