The technological target is to develop a method for design of spring-back compensated moulds based on results of fast spring-in simulation (WP11.1) and to verify this method within WP12 and subsequent WPs.
Advances made in LOCOMACHS
Based on previous target a methodology for design of spring-back-compensated moulds will be developed. Today, mould design is based mostly on subjective experience or 3D simulations showing the behaviour of single critical areas of the part, but not th
Contribution to LOCOMACHS High Level Objectives
- Design and manufacturing rules defined and validated
- Increased use of tolerance and variation management
- Reduced recurring costs of shimming operations
- Reduced recurring costs of dismantling operations
- Reduced recurring costs through increased automation
- Reduced NDI/NDT lead time
