3D QuickTools Ltd., a the leader in 3D die design automation and Strategic Technology Solutions, has released the 6.0 version of 3DQuickPress - is a last release SolidWorks add-on for progressive die design.

The flagship product - 3DQuickPress was introduced to the international market in 2003 and was the Certified Gold Product by SolidWorks in June 2006. In 2005, 3DQuickForm was launched and soon became one of the most preferred stamping simulation software offering accurate blank prediction at affordable price. 3DQuickMold was introduced in 2009 to the world market to compliment the need for plastic mold design solution.

3DQuickPress is a SolidWorks add-on for progressive die design. With a 3D solid model of the part, a 3D strip can be created quickly and easily, and also be communicated clearly throughout the work group using the free SolidWorks eDrawings viewer before further detailing of the die without time wasted.

Powerful Unfold, a feature recognition technology, can handle native SolidWorks® sheet metal parts for imported data, and provide a knowledge base for spring back and bend allowance. Form features can save valuable time from die designs and give them more design productivity tasks.

Strip Layout Manager provides users with intuitive tools to quickly complete the strip simply by drag & drop command with instant graphical feedback. It has extensive functionality including optimization and support for multiple parts.

Die Set Design begins after finishing the strip layout. 3DQuickPress® will automatically create all punches defined in the strip design. It supports user definable databases, tools for component placement, standard components library and support for compound die & transfer die etc.

Production-Ready-Libraries (PRL) assists users to insert home-made components into die sets structure with minimal manual operations
