LogoPress Progressive Unforming Tools (PBC)
LogoPress Progressive Blank Companion (PBC) allows die designers to partially unform a model to generate the complex-shaped intermediate stages of a progressively formed part in minutes instead of hours or days.
Behind its user-friendly interface, this powerful add-on is made up of complex mathematical algorithms and is the result of several years of research and development invested by LogoPress.
Besides simplifying and speeding up the modeling of intermediate stages, PBC also provides localized information about thinning and thickening as well as measuring stress and strain.
These partial unforming tools are included exclusively with LogoPress DieDesign PREMIUM.

(1:50) LogoPress PBC is used to produce the intermediate stage of this flange. This can be done tangent to the selected boundary edge or up to a user specified surface body. Play Now
PBC means faster strip layouts
(25:31) The strip layout was created by a newbie die designer with only one year of experience after having carefully studied and taken notes on the original strip layout that had been created years earlier. This video demonstrates how these tools fit into the die design workflow. Play Now
PBC also allows the user to form a flat BLANK up to a complex shaped surface.
