Case Study: Neumayer Tekfor achieves higher quality and cost efficiency with MSC Software's Simufact.forming

Forming simulation in the automotive industry – quality and cost effi ciency at Neumayer Tekfor

Neumayer Tekfor Holding, a manufacturer of automotive components, faced the challenge of ensuring quality and cost-efficiency in their serial production processes. To overcome this, they partnered with vendor MSC Software and utilized their Simufact.forming simulation software for virtual process design.

The solution from MSC Software involved using simulation to virtually lay out and optimize forming processes like ring rolling and wedge rolling. This approach yielded significant results, including a 90-98% match between the virtual layout and the real product. The implementation drastically reduced costs, with virtual testing costing one-tenth of real testing, and the investment in the simulation tools paid for itself after just one project.
