Dutton Simulation Ltd provides the very latest software for manufacturing
feasibility studies and process cost optimisation. The industry requires minimal
development and production costs for sheet metal components, and FTI's Forming
and Costing Software Solutions can help you achieve this. Established in 1989,
FTI has had over 20 years to refine its software packages. Quick and easy to
use, the Forming and Costing Software allows the user to identify the potential
product, process and tooling changes, as well as cost improvements before
completing the design. To find out about the specific features of the FTI
Forming Software Package, please follow this link to the Dutton Simulation
website.

Engineering Technology Associates (ETA) Inc has developed DYNAFORM, a software
package for solving sheet metal forming problems. By using this system before
tool build to weed out potential problems, you're able to save significant
amounts of time and money in the overall manufacturing process. The latest
version features springback compensation methods that have been developed in
collaboration with three of the largest automotive OEMs in North America. To
find out more about the software packages we offer and the services we provide,
please visit the website or get in touch directly.

| Brand & Trade Names |
- BLANKNEST - BLANKNEST is powerful nesting software specifically designed for nesting sheet metal blanks on coils.
It automatically calculates the best nesting layout to optimize material utilization based on coil width and pitch constraints. And for CATIA V5 users the same features are now available integrated as CATNEST.
BLANKNEST optimises material usage through geometric nesting of blanks
- BLANKWORKS - BLANKWORKS provides SolidWorks users with a fully integrated method for developing optimal blank shapes. BlankWorks accounts for material stretch and deformation as well as bending.
It is specifically designed for estimators, engineers, account managers and tool and die designers.
BLANKWORKS accurately calculates complex blank shapes in minutes
- CATBLANK - Blank Development of flat pattern from 3d - Integrated in Catia V5 (Version 5)
- CATFORM - CATFORM provides Catia users with fast formability analysis for evaluation and validation of stamped components. Formability analysis is based on component geometry and accounts for material properties, friction, and blank holder force. CATFORM determines if a component can be stamped consistently with minimum cost, while fulfilling all product performance requirements. CATFORM is fully integrated into Dassault Systèmes' PLM environment.
- CATNEST - CATNEST is the Most Accurate Tool for Optimal Coil Utilization (Nest) of Blank Shapes for Estimators and Tool Engineers.
The CAA enabled CATNEST reduces Collaboration Lag (time to communicate a change and obtain feedback), and hence results in 50% fewer engineering changes, since the analysis is current with the geometry
- CATSTAMP - CATSTAMP provides CATIA V5 users with detailed formability analysis for evaluation and validation of stamped components and draw developments. Formability analysis is based on component or die geometry and accounts for material properties, friction, blank holder force, pressure pad, drawbeads, curved binder, and displacement constraints.
- COSTOPTIMIZER - COSTOPTIMIZER is The Material Cost Reduction Tool for Estimators, Product and Tool Engineers. Utilising FASTBLANK and BLANKNEST technology, COSTOPTIMIZER's unique optimization capabilities help identify product changes that will reduce overall material cost. These features are now also available for CATIA V5 users as COSTOPTIMIZER for CATIA.
- DATAKIT - Dutton Simulation have been appointed as distributors for the superb range of CAD translators from Datakit. Datakit, founded in 1994, is a private company whose sole product range is an extensive set of of CAD/CAM Product Data Exchange applications and services. Already more than 140 translators have been made available. These allow users of native CAD systems (CATIA V4, CATIA V5, ProE, UG, etc.) to output IGES, STEP or DXF format data for input to our simulation software - but also include a range of inter-CAD translators.
- ETA DYNAFORM (LS-DYNA) - We also supply software from the DYNAFORM system, based on LS-DYNA, from Engineering Technology Associates (ETA) in Michigan. Our team has more than twenty years' experience in supplying and using these systems for metal forming analysis. Complete Die System Simulation Solution
DYNAFORM is the complete die system simulation solution. DYNAFORM allows you to entirely bypass soft tooling, reducing overall tryout time, lower costs, increase productivity and provide complete confidence in the die system design. It also allows evaluation of alternative and unconventional designs and materials for an optimal solution. The most cost-effective and accurate solution available, DYNAFORM is the clear choice among progressive organizations seeking to streamline the die analysis system.
- FASTBLANK - FASTBLANK provides users with a fast and accurate method for developing optimal blank shapes. FASTBLANK accounts for material stretch and deformation. It is specifically designed for estimators, engineers, account mangers, and tool and die designers. And for CATIA V5 users the same features are now available integrated as CATBLANK.
FASTBLANK calculates initial blank shapes for die design and cost estimating in minutes.
- FTI Technologies Inc - We supply simulation software from leading developers in North America, notably the Forming Suite products from Forming Technologies Inc (FTI) in Ontario
