3DQuickPress
3DQuickPress®
is a SOLIDWORKS®
add-on for progressive die design. With a 3D solid model of the part, a 3D
strip can be created quickly and easily, and also be communicated clearly
throughout the work group using the free SOLIDWORKS eDrawings®
viewer before further detailing of the die
without time wasted.
Powerful Unfold
Powerful Unfold, a feature
recognition technology, can handle native SOLIDWORKS® sheet metal
parts for imported data, and provide a knowledge base for spring back and
bend allowance. Form features can save valuable time from die designs and
give them more design productivity tasks.
