Metal Forming Systems,Inc.
Enterprise software
Company Overview
Metal Forming Systems, Inc. specializes in delivering advanced technology solutions for forming process design and validation. The company develops and supplies specialized software aimed at streamlining the progression from initial part design to manufacturing, intending to reduce development time significantly. Their offerings cater to various aspects of metal forming, including cold forging, hot forging, and deep drawn sheet metal processes.
Software Solutions for Metal Forming
The core of Metal Forming Systems' offerings revolves around a suite of software tools. NAGFORM is a progression design software used for cold forged parts, with variations like NAGFORGE for hot forged parts and NAGFORM-SHEET for deep drawn sheet metal components. Complementing this is NAGTOOL, designed for the automatic creation of tooling designs for cold forged parts, integrating with NAGFORM to generate complete tooling designs for specific forging machines within minutes. For simulation and analysis, NAGSIM 2D / 3D provides FEA forging simulation capabilities, predicting metal flow, identifying potential defects such as laps and non-fill, and forecasting stresses within tools and the part itself. It supports cold forged, hot forged (NAGSIM_GEN.2D, NAGSIM.3D), and bi-metal parts (NAGSIM_BI.2D).
Specialized Tools and Training
Beyond its primary software, Metal Forming Systems offers the DIE PRESS CALCULATOR, a specialized tool for engineers and tool designers. This calculator determines radial and tangential stresses in press-fit die assemblies, optimizing interference and dimensioning multi-ring die assemblies to withstand maximum internal pressure. The company also provides comprehensive training programs, including a 2-day advanced online class on 'The Fundamentals of Cold Forging' and a 1-day onsite class for operators and personnel covering the 'Basics of Cold Forging', ensuring users can effectively leverage these advanced technologies.
