Logopress Flattening Module covers the following functions:

 BLANK Prediction Functions

 Unbending Functions

Logopress3 BLANK functions allow the user to quickly and easily predict the theoretical blank of 3D formed parts.

The Finite Element Analysis advanced functions helps both at the quotation stage and in the die design process. It minimizes development time in the press. Beyond the Tool & Die Industry's needs, Logopress3™ BLANK can also be used to flatten various applications, such as: cloth, plastics, adhesives, leather, inflatable objects, packaging...

Native SolidWorks™ models as well as imported models can be used.

The mesh is fully automatic but its size can also be adjusted if the user wishes to do so. There is no need to be a mechanical engineer with finite element analysis skills to handle the Logopress3™ BLANK module because it is very user friendly.

The Logopress3™ BLANK module is included inside the full die design package of course but can also be independently purchased if you don't need to design strip layouts and complete dies.

Logopress3F is the package that includes both Logopress3™ BLANK capabilities and Logopress3™ Unbending capabilities (including multi-stage unbending management too).

Key functions:

 Manage native and/or imported data
 Manage solids and surfaces
 Material thickness management
 Customizable material database
 Choice of the "stamping starting area"
 Choice of the "stamping direction"
 Allow defining pinched/locked areas
 Thinning and thickening information
 Stress and strain information

In only a few mouse clicks you can unfold your part and then model the intermediate stages that will allow defining the process that will become your strip layout. This can be done from a native SolidWorks™ model or from an imported model, without preparing it in any specific way.

These unfolding/unbending features can very easily be edited. This way, you can switch from a full unbending to a partial unbending. You can change the partial unbending angle value, you can manage the spring back options, the bend allowance, etc.
