Holiday Greetings from Accurate Die Design, Inc.

After what was a very difficult last year for most tool & die related companies, we are happy to report that this year we have seen a dramatic shift and most of them are now quite busy.  We've been very blessed here at Accurate Die Design, Inc. and have had a very good year.  The combination of the upturn for tool & die companies along with their desire to keep up with and take advantage of the latest technology in order to increase their productivity and profitability is part of what has lead to our success this year.  There have also been an amazing number of tool & die related companies that have flourished and grown throughout the recession that we have sold software to.

I'd like to thank both our customers and SolidWorks resellers for their support and also our partners, Logopress Corp. and FTI (Forming Technologies, Inc.) for providing us with exceptional software for our users. 

We wish you a very blessed Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year.

Forming Technologies Inc. - Introduces FormingSuite® 8.2

We encourage you to start the New Year by having us show you how the new FormingSuite® 8.2 can predict formability, including tearing and wrinkling, along with springback and flat blank prediction in a matter of minutes. The average die designer can easily use this FEA (finite element analysis) software after just a few hours of training.

Some of the new features in FormingSuite® 8.2 include an update to FASTFORM®MultiStage to automatically account for bend lines in draw forming operations for the first form, completely new springback solver that provides up to 10x faster results with improved accuracy and support for larger models, the ability to run the springback solver in LS-DYNA®-based FASTIncremental® along with even faster speed than before in this FASTIncremental® module.

Accurate Tips & Tricks, by Ray Proeber

Bullzip, a Free PDF printer! (Free PDF creator)

We all know that PDF is a very standard format today.  Of course most folks have Adobe Acrobat Reader to read PDF files since it is a free product.  Some folks have Adobe Acrobat, either Standard or Professional, so that they can also generate PDF files.

But if you're like many folks, you rarely need to create a PDF, and for as seldom as you may need to do this, Adobe Acrobat is not worth purchasing for many of us.

The answer is BULLZIP!  Bullzip is a free, no strings attached PDF printer.  (It creates PDF files.) At

one point I was confused by the terminology "PDF printer".  I think "PDF creator" or "PDF generator" is a better and more descriptive name.  But in order to create a PDF, you use it as a "printer" and then save to a file.  It works great and I've been using it for years.  It has lots of options and I can't think of anything that I wish it had that it doesn't.

From their website:

"The Bullzip PDF Printer works as a Microsoft Windows printer and allows you to write PDF documents from virtually any Microsoft Windows application.  This program is FREEWARE with limitations,

which means that it is FREE for personal and commercial use up to 10 users.  It does not contain any

advertising or popups."
 

 

We welcome the opportunity to show you the benefits of our 3D die design software, flat blank prediction software and forming simulation software for more efficient design.  We represent many tools that can help your company reach those efficiency goals for the new year.  For more informtaion contact us at :
