Software for 3D Die Design,
Quoting and Flat Blanks
Accurate Die Design, Inc. booth 17089
Accurate Die Design, Inc., provides SolidWorks-based Logopress3 3D die-
Trouble-Free Lubricator
Black Bros. Co. booth 14066
Black Bros. Co. will feature its
Compact Coater, a nondriven four-roll
machine that applies lubricants to
stock as it feeds into presses and roll-
formers. Roll and frame design ensure a
rigid assembly and good control of the coating process.
Pneumatic adjustment of the metering roll provides maintenance-free operation. www.blackbros.com
design software, and software from Form- ing Technologies Inc. (FTI) for forming simulation/analysis, flat-blank predic- tion and quoting. Logopress3 3D auto- matically creates most of the 2D draw- ings in the background as the die is modeled in 3D.
Logopress3 also produces a fast, eco- nomical FEA software package called Logopress3 Blank, which analyzes stress, strain and thinning, and animates the forming process through to the flat blank.

PM Tool Steel with an
Integrated Surface Coating
Bohler-Uddeholm booth 14026
Bohler-Uddeholm introduces Udde- holm Vancron 40, a third-generation powder-metal tool steel made with a special manufacturing process and nitro- gen alloying. The tool steel provides exceptional resistance to adhesive wear and galling, and proves ideal for severe cold-work applications such as powder compacting, blanking and forming. Trial results from North America and Europe indicate superior results in tool life when compared to conventional materi- als such as AISI D2.
