FERDADA Engineering - Die Systems

Process for solutions

FERDADA is an advanced design & analysis engineering consultancy company offering Product Design, Concept Development, Engineering, Tooling ( Die Design), Prototyping and Production Management services.

We have made it our mission to provide professional services for the automotive industry, the automotive engineering and sheet metal processing business. For us, this means taking responsibility and being instrumental in promoting the company’s success. Thereby, we have years of experience and know-how of the entire process. We understand ourselves as partners for a comprehensive realization. We accompany you from the analysis, the development of an innovative concept, throught to the efficient implementation in your company.

  1. CO-DESIGN
    Concept Variation

    • Feasibility of hang-on panels cut on styling model
    • Style feasibility for single outer parts
    • Feasibility of technical solutions shared with all Co-Designers
    • Preliminary simulations to check feasibility of stamping process, analyse surface defects
    • Set up of a preliminary CAD draw development with Die Design (forming simulation)
    • Feasibility assessment and Cost Engineering with reference to the production volumes.

  2. Feasibility
    Pre-Process

    • Preliminary feasibility assessment of the part data
    • Preliminary setting of the die face geometry with Die Design (forming simulation)
    • Preliminary requests for modifications for critical areas

  3. Drawing
    Simulation

    • Setting of die face geometry
    • Assessment of all forming processes requested by the customer:

    Formability, Thinning, Material flow on matrix and punch, Plastic strain, Minor strain, Major strain, Max Failure, Spring-Back Free & Constrained

  4. METHOD
    DIE PROCESS

    • Production type analysis : TRANSFER, ROBOT, CROSS-BAR, HTL
    • Define operations within the production process
    • Requests for changes in CAD with simulation assessments
    • Check of trims and forming according to customer specifications

  5. FULL CYCLE
    SIMULATION

    We develop complete and customized solutions to reduce geometry and surface errors

    • Modelling of the forming tools of all operations
    • Full cycle simulation
    • Surface error assessment
    • Compensations to recover geometry errors
    • Spring-Back Free & Constrained

  6. DIE DESIGN
    KINEMATIC SIM.

    • European OEMs standard work environments
    • Die Design for Transfer, Robot, Cross-bar, HTL
    • Progressive Dies Design
    • Prototype Dies Design

    Kinematic Simulation :
    • Interference/collision check of die operations
