COST OPTIMIZER identifies design changes that reduce component costs
- Identifies product design changes that improve material utilization and reduce costs
- Accurately determines total material cost per blank
- Evaluates multiple nesting scenarios for optimal material utilization
- Determines accurate blank shape for die design and cost estimating in minutes
- Quickly identifies splitting, wrinkling, and thinning

COST OPTIMIZER utilizes the FASTBLANK module to produce
the most accurate blank shapes possible. It also uses the BLANKNEST module
to determine how much scrap will be produced during the blanking operation.
Its unique optimization capabilities help identify product changes that
will reduce overall material cost.
|
- Automatically nests for best material utilization for one-up and two-up layouts
- Quickly and accurately estimates your material requirements
- Evaluates multiple nesting scenarios quickly
- Accurately determines total cost per blank
|
|
"With COST OPTIMIZER we can identify component cost savings of 10 to 15 percent."
|
| |
| Features: |
- Combines blank development (FASTBLANK module), nesting (BLANKNEST module), and cost optimization into one integrated environment
- Project-based approach enables multiple costing scenarios that produce fully optimized nesting layouts for cut-off dies, one-up and two-up blanking dies
- Nesting constraints include pitch, coil width, and blank orientation to optimize layout with your equipment.
- Calculates accurate cost per blank based on supplied input data and material utilization
- Imports surface or solid geometry from IGES, STEP, VDA, NASTRAN and blank shapes from IGES, DXF
- Customizable materials database provides flexibility required to simulate any material
- Blank outline can be converted into tangent continuous lines and arcs for manufacturing
- HTML-based report generation provides valuable engineering data for quoting and estimating
