Addition to Flattening & Strip Layout design, Full Tool design covers the following functionality
Build and manage a tool structure for Die design
Full standard components library for tool design
Advanced features for designing the tool
Animation and Dynamic influence detection
Hole Table with advanced features for tool design
Logopress3™ also includes powerful features to "Mount" (cut all openings in all plates) the cutting, bending and forming punches. Punch Mounting would be a huge amount of work without this dedicated feature since so many die components are involved which each needing different clearances. Logopress3™ easily manages this with only a few mouse clicks and dialog box settings. After you define the first one, Logopress3™ stores your preferences in order to save even more time for the next mounting.
Punch Mounting

In addition to all of these tools & features designed to increase your productivity, Logopress3™ also includes an Intelligent Animation command, which provides far more than just an interesting but non-functional animation. it automatically does interference and collision detection throughout the die while showing the entire die operating as if it were in the press, including the strip lifting and advancing with each press stroke. This assures that mistakes are caught at the design stage and not at the much more expensive and time consuming build stage of the die.

Key functions:
Automatic bend analysis
No time consuming setup required. Just press the icon and set your press stroke, stripper travel and strip lift
Detects collision during strip advance through the die
Highly visual and accurate representation of the die running in the press
Finds clearance issues before the die goes in the press
