Cold forming from the material to the reinforced die.

Of the 242 sources, 124 link straight to the reference.
See wear and breakage before they happen.
Key values and flow curve come out of the chemical analysis.
68 included grades from 9 families, plus the alloy you compose yourself. For steel, stainless and copper, LeanShift Metals calculates hardness, tensile strength and yield strength as reference values from the composition.
You override every pass of the roll pass schedule yourself.
Reduction passes and finishing grooves are generated at the touch of a button, every pass lists strain and area reduction, and the proposal stays editable.
You see the strain in the workpiece before any tooling is made.
That lets you tell early where the workpiece is formed heavily and where hardly at all. The axisymmetric calculation runs as soon as the separately installed computation package is present.
You see the stress in the die before you commit to a material.
Hoop, radial or equivalent stress as a colour map in the dimensioned axial section on screen.
Your design becomes the drawing sheet for the toolmaker.
Dimensioned axial section, parts list and title block are ready as a DXF file.

One chain, one project
Your design work stays on your own machine.
Material and profile
Material chemistry
68 grades plus your own alloys
Take an alloy from the library or compose it with sliders. Key values and flow curve update instantly.
Key values from chemistry
Source-backed correlations give yield strength, tensile strength and hardness, with the data sheet value alongside. Steel, stainless steel and copper.
flow curve
Provenance on the material screen
Every key figure there shows where it comes from, and whether the flow curve is documented for the grade or a class value. No false precision.
wire profile
13 profile shapes, all parametric
Round to trilobular, corner radii per corner, click and edit dimensions right in the dimensioned drawing of the start and target section.
pass sequence
Pass sequence with strain per pass
Reduction and finishing passes with allowance logic, manually overridable. The proposal is a starting point for you to overwrite.
Feasibility at a glance
Forming force, strain and annealing steps per pass, exceeded forming limits flagged in red, damage per station.
Tool and die
tooling
Shrink-fit assembly by Lamé
Insert plus up to three reinforcement rings and a head ring, with interference optimization, preload verified, utilization per ring in the report.
Material recommendation with reasoning
Eight tool materials from carbide to tool steel, proposed rule-based by role and load case, with an assessment of the insert.
Stress field of the die
The assembly as a map, weak points visible before anything is hardened and ground.
Upsetting simulation of the workpiece
Color-coded maps of strain, equivalent stress and damage of the workpiece, as soon as the separately installed computation package is present.
Analytics first
The analytical formulas carry the design work, the simulation starts only when you call for it.
What the price includes
Initial setup
Two special geometries are included, plus remote onboarding and support during the start.
You work on your own after that
You use the 13 profile shapes and your own materials without limit. Further special geometries we set up at a fixed price.
Annual licence
Right of use, maintained release and support for one workstation, 365 days from activation. Nothing renews automatically.
Paid pilot
30 days with a real part from your production, a firm decision at the end. The pilot fee is credited in full.
100% local and offline
No account, no cloud. Alloys, pass sequences and tooling designs stay in house.
Developed for the shop floor
German terminology in menus and tables. The workflow starts with the material and branches into profiling and tooling.
This product includes software developed by CIMNE, Barcelona, Spain and its contributors as part of the Kratos Multiphysics project.
