Services
Circle Grid Strain Analysis
Our circle grid strain analysis service evaluates material deformation during forming processes to identify failure risks. This technique helps manufacturers optimize tooling and reduce defects in automotive and industrial applications. By measuring strain distribution, we ensure compliance with industry standards and enhance product reliability.
Forming Limit Curve Generation
We generate forming limit curves to determine material failure thresholds under stress. This service supports aerospace and automotive clients in selecting optimal sheet metals for complex stampings. Our data-driven approach improves part design and reduces prototyping costs.
Metallurgical Consulting
Our metallurgical consulting addresses material selection, failure analysis, and process optimization for steel and aluminum producers. We provide independent assessments to resolve disputes and improve manufacturing outcomes. Clients benefit from actionable recommendations based on deep industry knowledge.
Tooling Buyoff Assistance
We assist in tooling buyoff processes by conducting strain analyses and safety margin evaluations. This service ensures tooling meets production requirements while minimizing delays. Our expertise accelerates validation for automotive and heavy truck manufacturers.
Workforce Development Training
Customized training programs educate teams on sheet metal properties and forming techniques. Courses cover advanced high-strength steels, strain analysis, and process improvement. Our hands-on approach enhances workforce skills and operational efficiency.
