Forming tools are parts that act as dies that bend stretch or otherwise form sheet metal to create form features such as louvers lances flanges and ribs. Blankworks provides solidworks users with a fully integrated tool for developing optimal blank shapes for complex formed sheet metal designs. Founded in 1989 forming technologies fti is the world s leading provider of software solutions for the design feasibility and costing of sheet metal components. In the following image you can see how a forming tool is dragged from the design library onto the sheet metal model to form the part.

It accounts for material stretch and deformation as well as bending and can flatten any solidworks geometry. Learn more about us. Refer to the indentations as seen in the image below. Solidworks forming tools are found in the design library and are used to form sheet metal parts.
