Logopress3
Logopress3 is a professional die design software solution developed by Logopress (a company belonging to the Tooling Software Technology – TST group). This software acts as a deeply integrated and comprehensive add-on directly on the SolidWorks 3D CAD platform.
Instead of manually designing each die, punch, and die using conventional CAD commands, this solution provides an intelligent ecosystem of tools that understand the language and thinking of a die engineer. From flattening the part, calculating the stamping force, designing the strip layout, to generating assembly drawings, the software helps shorten working time by up to 60% compared to traditional methods.
Features of Logopress3
- Blank Prediction and Deformation Analysis Features
- Before designing a die, engineers need to know the precise shape of the flat blank before stamping. The Logopress3 Unbending tool allows flattening complex curved profiles in just seconds. In particular, the software integrates a finite element analysis (FEA) algorithm to predict areas of material prone to thinning, tearing, or wrinkling during deep drawing, allowing engineers to adjust the bending radius in a timely manner.
- Intelligent Strip Layout Design
- This is considered the heart of the progressive die design process. The software allows engineers to drag and drop stamping operations (cutting, punching, bending, drawing) onto a visual strip. The system automatically calculates the pitch, strip width, material loss percentage, and displays the required stamping force for each operation. Engineers can easily change the order of the stamping operations without having to redraw everything from scratch.
- Standard Die Base Resource Library
- The software boasts a vast library of standard die bases, springs, locating pins, bolts, and guide shoes from renowned global manufacturers (such as MISUMI, FIBRO, DANLY…). When you insert a standard component into the die, the software automatically creates the corresponding threaded holes and stepped holes on all related die bases, completely eliminating the need for manual hole drilling errors.
- Automated Punch and Die Creation
- Creating complex die shapes becomes incredibly simple. You only need to select the shape on the workpiece strip, and the software will automatically create the punch, punch holder, ejector plate, and die with precisely calculated cutting clearance based on the thickness and properties of the sheet material.
- Logopress3 is more than just a 3D modeling tool; it’s a comprehensive technological solution that elevates the capabilities of the modern sheet metal die design industry. By seamlessly combining the powerful graphics environment of SolidWorks with in-depth knowledge of die technology, the software is the key to optimizing labor productivity, reducing waste costs, and enhancing competitiveness in the international market.
