FTI Releases FASTFORM MultiStage for Hybrid Analysis
 OAKVILLE,
ON, Canada, Nov 7, 2008 - Forming Technologies Inc. (FTI) the industry’s
leading developer of solutions for design, simulation, and costing of sheet
metal components, today unveiled FASTFORM MultiStage. FASTFORM MultiStage
utilizes a hybrid analysis approach (Finite Increment Technology {FIT}) that
combines the ability to quickly determine blank shapes with the detailed
process analysis of incremental solvers. The new breakthrough technology
runs 1 to 2 orders of magnitude faster than traditional explicit and
implicit incremental solvers that are on the market today.

“FASTFORM MultiStage is ideally positioned for the layout of multistage
forming processes,” said Michael Gallagher, Vice President of Sales and
Marketing, FTI. “As many of our customer’s components are manufactured in
multiple forming operations, the design of flanges and extrusions becomes
critical. These types of applications as well as trim line development and
quoting for multistage operations, are a perfect fit for our FASTFORM
MultiStage solution and it is a great new tool for the part designer and
process engineer.”
