HxGN FASTBLANK
Smart Blank Prediction
FASTBLANK quickly and accurately calculates the optimal flat shape needed to form a 3D sheet metal part, addressing the fact that material can account for up to 70% of part cost. It helps estimators, designers, and toolmakers optimize material usage, improve quoting accuracy, and reduce waste from the earliest design stages.
With a simple interface, fast solving times, and a comprehensive materials database, FASTBLANK integrates smoothly into CAD / CAM workflows. It also includes formability checks to identify potential manufacturing issues early. Trusted by OEMs and suppliers in automotive, aerospace, and consumer goods, it boosts efficiency, lowers costs, and builds customer confidence through reliable, physics-based predictions.
