DYNAFORM's new DFE module is a complete die face engineering process used to create the tooling design, including binder and addendum, from the part geometry within the DYNAFORM interface. The DFE module contains a set of automated, surfaced-based tools such as reverse trimming functions, part-tipping, and binder and addendum generators to guide the engineer.

CAD SURFACE BASED
All functions are NURB surface based. All surfaces are exportable for final die geometry.

FILLET
The element fillet function allows the user to quickly fillet hard, unformable angles in the part geometry to a user defined radius for forming analysis.

REVERSE TRIMMING
Several automated functions fill incomplete part geometry for forming. Provides both mesh and surface of filled areas.

DRAW DEPTH / UNDERCUT
Graphic display of part draw depth and undercut.

TIPPING
The tipping function automatically places the part into die position from design position.

BINDER GENERATOR
Three automated binders can be generated based on part geometry. Binders can be edited and morphed based on user input to meet design criteria.

ADDENDUM GENERATOR
This sophisticated function generates a series of profiles based on the size, depth, and material of the part. The profiles are then surfaced and meshed to create a complete addendum for forming. Profiles can be edited using an interactive graphic profile editing interface or by PO line morphing.

MORPHING
Line morphing, surface morphing, and mesh morphing are all offered in the DFE module to easily manipulate, PO lines, reverse trimming functions, addendum designs, and binders.
