A method of designing the binder developments of draw dies for sheet metal stampings that integrates the mathematics of formability, kinematics and friction into the design (i.e. synthesis) process is described. The method is in four phases: (1) Forming f

In the process of draw die design for stamping automotive press panels, the addendum surfaces generated in metal forming simulation software cannot be used in downstream processes such as machining and making draw dies because simulation tools use simple

Very deep part areas most likely will not need a draw bead or bar. The exact geometry of the addendum features most likely will be finalized during the forming simulation or die tryout (see Figure 4). Step 8: Simulate Forming, Die Tryout. If you don't
