Case Study: Quality Pattern Works Pvt Ltd achieves faster, lower-cost sheet metal prototyping with Hexagon FormingSuite

FormingSuite® enables Quality Pattern to significantly ease the process of blank development, drastically reducing time to market and component cost

Quality Pattern Works Pvt Ltd, an Indian manufacturer of prototype sheet metal parts for automotive OEMs, faced a time-consuming and costly manual process for blank development. Their traditional trial-and-error method led to significant material waste and was only precise within 15-20%. To find a more scientific approach, the customer turned to vendor Hexagon and its FormingSuite® software.

By implementing Hexagon's FormingSuite®, the team could accurately simulate and predict forming problems before creating physical tools. The solution increased blank development precision to within 0.7%, reducing try-outs and cutting time to market by 30%. This resulted in a 50% savings on prototype material costs and allowed Quality Pattern to deliver components ahead of schedule.
