CAE - COMPUTER AIDED ENGINEERING
Hercules Machine Tool & Die
Whether you have a new project or are having problems with a current one, the Hercules CAE department can help. We can run a one step analysis for you using HyperForm or a full incremental stamping simulation using LS-Dyna.
Hercules can leverage our skills when working with your part and take your product from CAD data through hard tooling. Using our experience, along with stamping simulation software, we are able to prove-out the development before it ever hits the press. We are able to look at product feasibility issues and make development changes before a casting is ever poured. This process saves time and money.
Do you already have a draw die that is not working for you? Let us use our experience and simulations to help you get out of a tough spot. We can try alternatives to your tool that time & money will not allow you to try in the press.
Once a simulation is complete, we can then take the finished blank and put it in our blank nesting software. Using this software we are able to get the best blank nest which will give you the smallest blank possible.
