Solidworks for tool & die

Solidworks for tool & die

Solidworks for tool & die

(OP)

Any SolidWorks users out there using it for progressive die design?

If so, are you using a prog. die package like 3D QuickPress?

If you aren't using QuickPress, what's your preferred method of generating a strip--using assembly mode with a family of sheet metal parts with various features suppressed, or dropping all the features on the piece part into the design library and modelling the strip layout as a single sheet metal part?

Thanks,

Paul

RE: Solidworks for tool & die

Two of our prog die suppliers are using SolidWorks.  Both of them use some additional software to develop strips.  None of them use 3D QuickPress.

I could be the world's greatest underachiever, if I could just learn to apply myself.
