Overview

Simufact Forming is an advanced simulation software that assists manufacturers in optimizing metal forming processes such as forging, stamping, and extrusion. By simulating these complex processes, it allows engineers to visualize material flow, detect potential defects, and refine process parameters. This leads to better product designs, minimized costs, and fewer physical prototypes. With its capacity to integrate with other Hexagon manufacturing solutions, it enhances overall operational efficiency and reduces material waste.
