Excerpted from a pre-release publication tentatively titled “Brickwalls and Barricades: The Quest for Flawless Execution of First Hit Pass Outcomes”, this article introduces actual case studies to showcase the ability to avoid forming defect failures at the stamping press through disciplined execution of the simulation and die build with proven tradecraft and capable craftsmanship. A prominent automotive seating company built a progressive die for a safety-critical stamping. Crash tests with actual stampings verified the occupant would not survive a front-end collision because edge cracks separated the seat from the vehicle. An iconic home appliance company built transfer dies with draw… [...]

Systematic Process Improvement for Tube Hydroforming Tubing contributes to lower costs, advanced safety and lightweighting of automotive components such as chassis parts, shock absorbers, suspension arms, seats and instrument panel beams. Tube hydroforming is the process of manufacturing such critical components and the success of the tube hydroforming process depends on the best combination of material properties, process parameters, process sequence and die geometry. In this webinar we will focus on a smart systematic process improvement approach to find the optimum hydroforming solution for a high strength steel tube component efficiently in a shorter time. This can result in significant… [...]

The good news is that the situation is much better than a year ago. iSeeCars found that lightly used cars are priced 8.1 percent below [...]

Buying a pre-owned car is more than just a great way to save money. It could get you into a model that has safety and luxury features you couldn’t afford in a new car. That is, if you can find a new car or SUV. While the new-car shortage may be slowing down somewhat, there’s still the problem of high prices and limited availability of some trims or types of vehicles. This means new-car dealers are charging a premium, taking advantage of the shortages. In order to focus your search better, we dug through years of test data and [...]
