Tool buy-off is the culmination of a complicated process of engineering and building stamping die sets. Product design, material, process, press line, etc., influence final outcome; variabilities in material and die/plant conditions add risk to cost and timing. Simulation is mainstream in engineering stamping dies/processes. This also can be leveraged early to estimate real “capability” of die and processes, towards early opportunity for correctives, timely buy-off, and cost/time management.
