Stampack GmbH

In 2001 the first commercial version of Stampack was created and marketed by Quantech Ltd. in Barcelona, Spain. A die design software reseller in Germany by the name of Men at Work GmbH became a reseller of Stampack in 2010. By 2018 Men at Work had 50 Stampack customers, so they purchased Stampack from Quantech Ltd and formed the company Stampack GmbH. Today, Stampack GmbH has offices in both Spain and in Germany.

Redeveloping the Stampack Interface

With the goal of turning Stampack into a fast and easy to use software that speaks the language of the tool and die industry, the first thing that Stampack GmbH did was shutting down the new sales of the software in order to focus 100% on a completely new interface. They knew that they had entered a phase in history where software that is complex, difficult to learn, and hard to interpret results, was not going to get used on a day-to-day basis. After almost two years and a completely new interface, they had developed the friendly user experience that they had been thinking about for many years before purchasing the company. Stampack went back on the market in late 2019 and was very well received in the tool & die and metal stamping industries.

A Focus on Improving Solid Solver Simulation Performance

Knowing that they had to narrow the gap between shell simulation solve times and solid simulation solve times, for the next few years they focused on the performance of the solid solver as well as tweaking the new interface. Finally, they achieved a five (5) times increase in solid simulation performance.

Today Stampack allows the user to take advantage of the speed of the shell simulation and quickly switch to a significantly more accurate solid simulation with one click of the mouse.

Solid Simulation - a Game Changer

With the solid simulation available in Stampack, users experience accuracy that is truly game-changing. Depending on the part, the difference between a shell simulation done with any brand of shell simulation software vs. Stampack Solid Simulation can be night and day, as can be clearly seen in the simple image below. The trim optimizer in Stampack with the solid solver is extremely accurate as one can imagine when looking at this image. Shell solvers in general are very limiting in what they are capable of. The Stampack solid solver allows for coining, ironing, deep drawing, and cold forming. These things are not possible with any shell solver. The increased accuracy of the solid solver results in the ability to perform a tolerance check of the whole geometry. The solid solver also calculates springback of the part with much more precision, allowing for the best quality springback compensation of the tooling, which is automatically created by the software. More accurate press tonnage is achievable, something that is impossible with any shell simulation. Because solid simulations have the full thickness of the part simulated, you can even display the part and tool markings, and this includes all surface deformations like burs, wrinkles, and most importantly "orange peel". Simply put, the solid solver makes every aspect of forming simulation software results more accurate.
