The fastest and most complete progressive die design process

The solutions software guides you through all of the stages required to design a progressive die, automating the most tedious tasks and streamlining the most complex processes. NX Progressive Die Design is a comprehensive solution for both straight break and freeform sheet metal parts. You can design the complete die structure with associativity to the part design at every stage

 Product analysis: Validate part design for manufacturability using data quality analysis, formability analysis and flattened blank shapes. Apply the One-step Unforming and Formability Analysis technology to analyze and design intermediate forms and the flattened blank shapes for complex freeform parts

Structure design: Layout the die base assembly and die inserts for forming and punching opera­tions. Efficiently and associatively design forming and punching tools. Configure the die based on libraries of inserts, die bases and standard parts. Automatically compen­sate for springback in bending punches and dies. Easily customize library content with­out programming.
