Tool and Die Engineering - Method Planing Assistant

MPA has two functions

• MPA-Draw-Analysis computes the optimal deep drawing direction or analyses a predefined direction. A powerful User Interface presents the results, for example the Undercutting areas, in graphical or numerical representations

• MPA Cut-Analysis computes the optimal cutting direction along a cutting area or analyses a predefined cutting direction. The results are also presented in a graphical and numerical way.

• fully integrated in CATIA-V5

• shortens individual process steps

• shorter overall process time to delivrery

• higher quality, thanks to more precise, more detailed and repeatable results

• less tool prototyping

• less tool error modifications

• fast amortisation (3-12 months)

• easy to learn (< 1 day)

• suitable for use in multiple industries

1. Is your company involved in Sheet Metal Design?

2. Are you working with the technology “Deep Drawing”?

3. Do you want to simulate the deep drawing process with CATIA V5?

4. Did you ever think about analyzing a predefined deep drawing direction, or even compute the optimal deep drawing direction automatically, free of undercutting areas?

5. Are you interested in analyzing and optimizing a predefined cutting direction before manufacturing, or even compute the optimal cutting direction for deep drawing automatically?

All companies that design or produce sheet metal components using a deep drawing process.
