The KPR analysis addresses issues such as cosmetic quality, surface distortion for mating surfaces, dent resistance, continuity of reflect lines, continuity of features, slip lines and thinning. KPR techniques are used to review automotive Class A surfaces while the clay models are still in Styling. KPR/DFM strategies will expose BIW design problems early in the New Product Introduction process (Styling Studio) so that Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) and manufacturing-based issues can be minimized. It enables design engineers to apply Key Product Requirements (KPR) and Design for Manufacturability (DFM) principles. It considers component or tool geometry and accounts for material properties, friction, binder, addendum, blank holder force, pad pressure, draw-beads, and tailor-welded blanks.įASTFORM® ADVANCED uses FTI’s proprietary Coupled Hybrid Inverse (CHI) solver for fast and accurate results. Before releasing data to tooling, engineers run FASTFORM® Advanced to assess formability risks and optimize material usage. It identifies formability problems (splits/wrinkles) enabling users to implement design changes earlier in the product life cycle, saving time and money. FASTFORM® ADVANCED enables users to quickly and easily evaluate part and process feasibility as well as determine blank shape and spring back for sheet metal components.
