Introduction to Cold Forging
This 45 minutes video takes you through the cold forging process from start to finish in a brief presentation. It includes an overview of cold forging process, basic principles of metal deformation, materials for cold forging, forging processes, sequence design, tooling design and software.
NAGFORM
Program for Sequence Design
This 12 minute video takes you through the NAGFORM software program for sequence design. It covers the main features and sections for part model, auto design of sequences, DCM procedure for creating your own sequence design and manual design.
The results of NAGFORM program for a sample part are shown. For an another part, the results of NAGFROM, NAGTOOL and NAGSIM.2D programs are presented briefly to show how design and development of a cold forged part can be automated to reduce design and development effort.
NAGTOOL
Program for Tooling Design
This 8 minutes video explain the purpose of NAGTOOL program and how it works. NAGTOOL is being developed by Metal Forming Systems, Inc. Together with NAGFORM program for sequence design and NAGSIM for FEA simulation, NAGTOOL provides the shortest path from print to part.
NAGSIM.2D
FEA Simulation Program
NAGSIM.2D is a FEA program for simulating two dimensional cold forging processes. It can simulate forming of axisymmetric ( round) parts and long parts. This short video provides a basic understanding of the program, how it works and the results of the simulation. The program can be used to validate a cold forging sequence , reduce trials and improve tool life.
