See wear and breakage before they happen.

Your alloys stay in house.

Your manufacturing know-how never leaves the building. Everything is computed on your own machine, the project file stays with you, without an account and without a cloud.

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.

On the material screen you see where every key value comes from.

Seven reachable states from data sheet value through to no value on file, plus a badge on the flow curve showing whether it is documented for the grade itself or a class value.

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 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.

What your most experienced forming specialist knows ends up in the software.

The materials, tooling and workflows of your business move into the application, and we agree the scope with you in person.

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.
