AutoForm Engineering GmbH announced its TubeXpert R8 software, developed to streamline the digital process chain for tube bending, forming and hydroforming. With this software, users can define the tube bending, forming and hydroforming processes based on imported part geometry and then use this information for rapid tool design and simulation setup. New design functionalities, such as for radius changes, surface extensions and morphing, allow users more flexibility to modify the part and tool designs, and to analyze the effect of these modifications on formability. Based on CAD-surfaces technology, TubeXpert R8 designs can be exchanged with other CAx systems.
