he Most Accurate and Most Recognized Real-Time Material Cost Reduction Tool for Estimators and Tool Engineers 50 times faster and more accurate (1.4% vs 10% inaccuracy) than manual calculations; on average supplier variation between estimate and actual costs is 25% Accurate material cost in minutes for budget integrity; 1.4% inaccuracy, accounting for material stretch and forming over tight radii Reduce material costs and number of prove-out trials Speedy prediction of hot points Best technology to handle undercut parts; in this case saves 2-4 hours of labour compared to other technologies FEATURES: Best in Class user interface – for immediate productivity Materials database – populated by common materials; can add your own materials Geometry tools – Extensive tools for editing imported...

COSTOPTIMIZERCOSTOPTIMIZER AdvancedBLANKNESTFASTBLANKFASTFORMFASTFORM Advanced COSTOPTIMIZER utilizes the FASTBLANK® module to produce the most accurate blank shapes possible. It also uses the BLANKNEST® module to determine how much scrap will be produced during the blanking operation. Its unique optimization capabilities help identify product changes that will reduce overall material cost. COSTOPTIMIZER utilizes the FASTFORM® Advanced module to produce the most accurate blank shapes possible. It also uses the BLANKNEST® module to determine how much scrap will be produced during the blanking operation. Its unique optimization capabilities help identify product changes that will reduce overall material cost. BLANKNEST® is powerful nesting software specifically designed for nesting sheet metal blanks on coils. It automatically calculates the best nesting layout to optimize material utilization based...
