Combined know-how from both companies provides customers with optimal solution for press technology and the forming process itself
Hamburg, February 3rd, 2010 – Simufact Engineering GmbH, a leading provider of software and services in the area of bulk metal forming and Presstec Pressentechnologie GmbH, a provider of hydraulic presses and mechanical high-speed blanking and stamping presses, today announced a new partnership which aims to provide customers with the substantiated know-how of both of the companies.
Customers will soon benefit from the advantages of this technological partnership. Within the development of new machines as well as in the tuning of existing machines, customers will now have the opportunity to optimize forming processes and adjust them to their equipment. The immense advantage shows full potential especially in the area of press tuning. Prior to production, users can now determine whether a special forming process can be implemented and how an optimized process has to look like. Additionally, Simufact Engineering GmbH supports Presstec's activities at the department of material engineering, Technical College Offenburg by providing the needed forming simulation software Simufact.forming. Future forming engineers can use the software freely to simulate forming processes in a practical simulation environment and are able to optimize processes.
"We are very pleased about the new partnership with Presstec GmbH," said Michael Wohlmuth, managing director, Simufact Engineering GmbH. "For customers it is of growing importance not to only look at their forming processes, they need to consider the entire system. Our new partnership with Presstec is taking this into account and will enable the industry branch to use their equipment in an optimal way."
"The know-how of Simufact in forming simulation and our experience in the design and optimization of presses is an ideal combination," said Dipl.-Ing. Alexander Blättner, managing director, Presstec group. "Our customers can now gain a much deeper and better understanding of their forming processes and are able to adjust them to the existing equipment. The combined know-how of this partnership meets the customer’s needs much better and more widespread than before."
