Geometry understanding
Interpret B-Rep structure and surface topology as engineering features such as fillets, flanges, trim lines and blank boundaries.
An engineering platform that helps manufacturers develop manufacturable sheet-metal components through closed-loop design, simulation and optimisation.
In automotive stamping and forming, geometry quality and manufacturability are inseparable. Small changes in curvature, flanges, fillets or blank definition can determine whether a part forms cleanly — or fails under thinning, wrinkling, cracking or springback.
Today, that work still depends on long sequences of CAD edits and CAE iterations. Engineers propose a change, wait for simulation, interpret the result, then revise again. Expertise is essential, but the loop is slow and difficult to scale across programmes.
Auto-Die Design places intelligence inside that loop. It converts CAD geometry into engineering-aware features, reasons over simulation outcomes and manufacturability constraints, and proposes controlled geometry modifications for the next iteration — with the engineer remaining in command of objectives and decisions.

Forming-aware reasoning
Use simulation signals — strain, thinning, wrinkling, cracking and springback — as inputs to the next design decision.
03
Controlled modification
Propose changes on constrained engineering parameters rather than unconstrained freeform CAD generation.
04
Closed-loop iteration
Connect objective, geometry, simulation, evaluation and optimisation into one continuous engineering workflow.
