FTI BlankWorks 2018.1 for SolidWorks 2018

The Most Accurate Blank Development Tool for Estimators and Tool Engineers in SOLIDWORKS®.

50 times faster and more accurate (1.4% vs 10% inaccuracy) than manual calculations with full associativity to native geometry
Accurate material cost in minutes for budget integrity
Reduce material costs and number of prove-out trials
Reduces Collaboration Lag (time to communicate a change and obtain feedback), and hence results in 50% less engineering changes, since the analysis is current with the geometry

Features:
Fast and accurate blank shape generation
Capable of accurately unfolding specific features such as flanges while preserving surrounding geometry
Graphical display of material thinning and gathering,addresses initial product and process feasibility
Automatic mesh generation
Customizable materials database provides flexibility required to analyze virtually any component
HTML-based report generation summarizes the process and provides valuable engineering data for quoting and estimating
FTI's proven Coupled Hybrid Inverse (CHI) solver correctly accounts for bend allowances even with non-linear bends
Extremely simple user interface fully integrated into SOLIDWORKS®
