DEFORMTM is a process simulation software which can analyse metal forming, machining and heat treatment processes. DEFORMTM minimizes costly trial-and-error and reduces time-to-market. DEFORMTM provides the critical process information required to optimize processes. In today´s competitive environment, marginal processes are not an option. The motivation to work with the simulation tool DEFORMTM is the need to more efficent manufacturing processes and the competitive advantage that you can give to your company by enabling it to:     Reduce production costs by minimizing manufacturing defects and eliminate potential operating problems with products Shorten the time required to bring products to market Reduce the costs for tooling Eliminate expensive and time-consuming prototype development Increase production rates Reduce material waste Technology developement through a greater understanding of the detailed metal flow and thermal characteristics of your processes Improve the quality of products and manufacturing processes
