3DQuickForm for SolidWorks
3DQuickForm for SolidWorks is a plugin for SolidWorks software to simulate and reverse engineer the forming processes and models designed in this software. High speed, accuracy and complete integration with SolidWorks software data make this plugin the ideal choice for pattern designers.
Users can also import different types of CAD data to generate mold geometry to enhance their research goals and gain more information about part forming and design processes by inspecting and designing. reverse them. This plugin is very valuable for product manufacturers, manufacturers of materials needed for molds and other active roles in the field and helps them to prepare the desired mold in the shortest time and with the least amount of effort and error.
3DQuickForm also features an auto grid that allows users to adjust design conditions to suit their needs in a variety of situations. One of the advantages of this product is the special focus on the casting part, and by accurately simulating the molding and forming processes, it speeds up this work many times over.
The simulation in this plugin is project-oriented and supports several concurrent projects. This simulation can also test the product for load and stress distribution. In fact, by doing this, the plugin does a kind of product consolidation process at the same time. Having different materials in the plugin database allows designers to test their designs with different materials and choose the best one based on simulation results.
