Are you Content with Good or GREAT?
New ADD Logo 200
Is your company content on being just Good or are you destined to be GREAT!  If Vince Lombardi had gone into each game with the attitude that his team was going to be playing good and not the best they can be, history would rewrite itself. 
Yes, in today's economy, many people are in the safe mode, but on the contrary we should be doing everything we can to better ourselves and take that leap into becoming GREAT AND BETTER than our competitor.
When you decide as a company that you have succeeded, that's usually when progress stops.  Technology is changing the way manufacturing is done.  We want to become faster, more accurate and of course, more productive.  If you eliminate the problems up front at the design stage, you can dramatically increase your profit during the build stage of the die.
Please consider your path to GREATNESS, consider ways to improve your die design by looking at software that helps you do your job and succeed. We provide those products to you because we know them to be the best ones to help you become GREAT.   
The special Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 also includes a 50% percent bonus depreciation and expanded Section 179 expensing to reduce the tax burden of business investments for small companies. Another great reason to take advantage of making that purchase by year's end.

NEW FASTFORM MULTISTAGE by Forming Technologies, Inc.
Multistage Just introduced this fall is the New FASTFORM MultiStage software by Forming Technologies, Inc. the makers of the ever popular FASTFORM ADVANCED. MultiStage evaluates and validates formability for parts made from multiple stamping operations.
 
- New solver technology that provides the tools necessary to analyze forming processes that involve multiple stages of forming
- Track strains from one operation to the next while concurrently developing the blank outline for the intermediate forms
- Ideal for Process Engineers and Die Designers
FEATURES:
- FAST, Intuitive interface makes the software extremely user-friendly
- Considers the individual steps of the forming processes
- Develops accurate trim lines and blank shapes for multi-stage forming processes
- Results provide guidelines for process layout, material selection, blank size, trim-line, blank holder and pressure pad force
- Simplifies results interpretation by displaying specific formability results to depict splitting, wrinkling and thinning on geometry
- Detailed documentation system produces HTML, XLS format reports
 
As many more of our customer's components are manufactured in multiple forming operations, the design of flanges and extrusions becomes critical.  These types of applications as well as trim line development and quoting for multistage operations, are a perfect fit for our FASTFORM MultiStage solution and it is a great new tool for the die designer and process engineer.   
NEW LOGOPRESS3 BLANK - (Flattening)
LP3 Blank Logo Logopress3 BLANK is now part of the Logopress3F (Flattening) package in addition to the Logopress3 Unbending which is also in Logoopress3F.
 
Logopress3 BLANK is a huge improvement over the current Logopress3 flattening capabilities for complex double-curved (automotive-type) parts.
 
Logopress3 BLANK allows managing both solid parts and surface parts, very easily. 
 
How does Logopress3 BLANK compare with the previous Logopress3F capabilities when flattening double-curved parts?
-  Logopress3 BLANK is much faster: a matter of seconds or minutes for getting the blank of complex parts,
-  Logopress3 BLANK is very, very easy to use,
-  Logopress3 BLANK provides a much more accurate and much nicer sketch blank,
-  Logopress3 BLANK is able to manage the openings and holes of the part without any specific actions from the user and, if you wish and if the stamping process requires this, you will get them in the sketch blank. 
 
How does Logopress3 BLANK compare with the competition?
Logopress has been working very hard on this new technology for quite some time and are extremely happy with the results. From a technical standpoint, we sincerely think that we are able to compare this module with similar modules on the market, but with a huge advantage: THE PRICE.
 
What about the pricing?
(PROMOTION UNTIL THE END OF THIS YEAR)
The Logopress3F package includes Logopress3 BLANK and Logopress3 Unbending and remains at the same price: $4,000. 
However, to promote this new package and to save you money, until the end of this year (2008) we are offering a special promotion for the Logopress3F package at $3,000!
