Part Geometry

A small selection of example parts is shown below.

Geometry extraction is replaced by geometric inputs in the user guided cost model. For progressive die, these inputs include, among others, the following:

• Part volume

• Flat pattern blank dimensions and perimeter

• Number of bends and forms

• Total hole perimeter and total form perimeter

• Total form depth and total bend length

• Number of undercut forms, bends over 95o, and groups of holes whose axes are not normal to the main surface.

See Geometric Inputs for more information.
