Additional to BLANK Prediction & Unbending Functionality Strip layout Modules includes the following

 Strip layout design
 Round Draw Module
 Standard Component Library

The strip layout module can be used for both progressive dies and transfer dies. It allows quickly modeling the true solid 3D strip in a very easy and logical way, resulting from our almost 20 years experience shared with passionate die designers.

The Logopress3™ strip module can be started from a blank and a folding/stamping process that was first defined using the Logopress3™ Unbending and Flattening tools or from dumb imported data provided by your customers or partners.

Any kind of parts, even those with non-constant thickness, are able to be managed. It also allows managing multiple parts in one strip, whether they be identical, mirrored or completely different parts in the same strip.

The Logopress3™ strip package is included inside the full die design package but can also be independently purchased if you don't need to design complete dies. In that case it also includes the flattening package and it's the perfect solution for your quotation needs.

Key functions:

 Multiple part management
 Nesting optimization
 Excel spreadsheet including useful data for quoting
 Drag and drop actions
 Insert/delete stations
 Material usage info
 Force info
 Global center of force computation
 Local center of force computation
 Spring back management
 Associativity with the Unbending/Flattening process
 OpenGL preview
 Automatic creation of internal punches
 Powerful assistant tool to define punches in the skeleton
 Punch patterning

Logopress3™ strip layout module also includes great and specific features and capabilities dedicated to Round Draw Parts.

For those who have to manage this kind of parts, this may mean saving several hours of work or even several days! Take a look at the pictures below they speak more than a long explanation would, knowing that all of this is done in less than 5 minutes!

It's also important to highlight that as everything is parametric, any changes can be done very quickly. In addition to that, you will find it very interesting to note that this is not newly developed technology, but rather has been well proven for 18 years in our Logopress2 2D product.

Key functions:

 Automatic computation of each intermediate stage
 Material type of drawn part automatically determines what draw reductions are used
 Customizable computation database to include your experience and know how
 Automatic re-computation when changing a radius or a diameter
 Stripper pressure computation
 Automatic and customizable web management
 Graphical overlays of previous stations or subsequent stations

Logopress3™ Die Design Software includes a powerful Tool Structure Assistant that allows you to quickly model the main die components. It is also very useful throughout the entire die design process when you need to insert additional plates.

You can very easily and very quickly insert a plate or an assembly of plates and then adjust its dimensions. The plates can be named at this point and material type and heat treatment can also be specified at the time of insertion. It also acts as a Mate Manager so that you don't have to search the feature tree for mates.

Tool Structure Assistant

 Component and sub-assembly insertion feature dedicated to the die design needs
 Customizable plates
 Customizable Die Set
 Automatic mates management
 Customizable material database
 Customizable heat treat callouts

No Die design software is complete without an extremely comprehensive Standard Components Library. The only way to understand how powerful, user friendly, flexible, customizable, strong and complete the one Logopress3™ offers is to see it.

It manages both millimeter and inch components and includes literally dozens of vendors that you are also able to add to. It not only inserts the component you select but also cuts every hole in each plate and automatically manages all mates.

Standard Components Library. :

 Choice assistant
 Automatic patterning
 Edit definition
 Customizable Library
 Automatic mate management
 Automatic hole creation
 OpenGL preview
 Wire EDM hole management
 Dozens of custom and multi stepped holes–all hole chartable
