S101: Reducing Cost and Risk to Timing Associated with Tool Buy-Off - PAID SESSION (Room S404a)

15 Sep 21
1:00 PM - 2:30 PM

Tracks: Stamping

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.
