The aerospace, transportation and metal fabrication industries are also turning to FTI for training, engineering services and software to speed-up the design process for metal stampings. Training and sales support are also provided from Detroit and through distributors in Europe, South America and the Far East. With the predictive software, engineering support and training services, the customers are achieving major improvements in sheet metal stamping quality, cost savings and significant reductions in development time. The FAST suite of software provides a rapid simulation at the early stages of styling, product design and tool development. The programs are also used by manufacturing engineers to optimize process plans and to overcome metal forming problems in production.
Additional features predict springback and the distribution of residual stresses and punch force.
We offer extensive training courses ranging from metal forming, process planning and estimating fundamentals to advanced draw die development and computer simulation and interpretation. Our team of experienced metal forming engineers and analysts are available to conduct pilot projects, as well as analyze and recommend solutions for your particular problems.
