FTI Forming Suite 2021.0.2 Build 30659.1

The Forming Technologies (FTI), part of Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division, is pleased to announce the availability of FormingSuite 2021.0.2 is premier software package for sheet metal forming. OEMs and suppliers worldwide use Formingsuite to optimize the design, feasibility and costing of sheet metal components.


FormingSuite is a user friendly combination one-step, implicit, and explicit incremental analysis solution that provides a complete virtual die develop-ment and tryout for tool and die makers. It requires no FEA background. It offers many advanced features such as automatic blank shape, and location, automatic process setup and automatic binder closing and wrap.

FormingSuite 2021 introduce 3D addendum creation and the detailed feature length method for cost estimation of Line Dies (Transfer and Tandem dies). These features will help improve cost estimation accuracy for deep drawn components by accurately representing the drawn shell coming from the draw die. This gives cost engineers confidence in their estimates for blank size and weight in the early planning stage as well as giving more details needed for precise process planning.

Trim line development tools have been implemented to accurately unfold flanges, hems, and extrusions onto the 3D Addendum geometry. This allows design, process, and manufacturing engineers to evaluate trim conditions and determine for each point on the trim curve if it’s possible to trim in the given die tip direction.

Fast and accurate speed-of-use enhancements have been added to reduce effort and time when creating a process plan. These enhancements include symmetry options for multiple functions. FormingSuite 2021 also improves stamping feature recognition, process generation, process validation, simplifies process editing and produces better-quality reports.
