In the high-stakes world of automotive manufacturing, the margin between a flawless fender and a wrinkled door panel is measured in micrometers. For over two decades, AutoForm Engineering has been the gold standard for software solutions addressing the complexities of sheet metal forming. With the release of AutoForm R11, the company has not just updated its platform; it has fundamentally redefined the workflow between die design, feasibility analysis, and production tryout.
R11 now includes an "R11 Lite Viewer" free for design engineers. This allows designers to check formability (Thinning, FLD) without a full license. If a design is "red" (failure), the designer can tweak the radius or add a feature before releasing to die engineering. autoform r11
