Altair Inspire Form™

Optimise your metal stamping process with Altair Inspire Form™ — the ultimate tool for predicting formability, spotting defects, and enhancing part design before production begins. Detect potential issues like splits and wrinkles early, reducing production costs and accelerating your design cycle.

Altair Inspire Form

What is Altair Inspire Form™?

Altair Inspire Form™ is an advanced metal stamping simulation tool designed to simplify and enhance the product development process. From blank design to multi-stage forming, this comprehensive solution helps users visualise and correct potential defects such as splits, wrinkles, and thinning before cutting steel or creating a die.

By offering a virtual tryout of single or multi-stage metal forming processes, users can identify design flaws early, reduce material waste, and ensure the manufacturability of parts. With an intuitive, user-friendly interface, Altair Inspire Form caters to both experienced engineers and those new to metal forming simulations.

Its advanced features also include blank fitting, blank nesting, and material thinning analysis, enabling manufacturers to optimise material usage and increase production efficiency. The software supports a range of forming processes, from progressive and transfer die setups to custom stamping applications.

Design Better Products

Altair Inspire Form™ enables users to simulate and assess formability early in the product design cycle. It identifies potential defects like splits, wrinkles, and thinning, allowing users to make adjustments before production begins. The result? Better-performing products, reduced waste, and a faster route to production.

With its real-time visual feedback, engineers and designers can see where design flaws might occur, make quick modifications, and improve part quality before manufacturing starts.

Altair Inspire Form Easy to Use

Easy to Use

Altair Inspire Form™ is built for ease of use, offering a simple workflow that allows users to get up and running quickly. With an intuitive user interface and guided design steps, even those new to metal forming simulation can become proficient in no time.

Most users require little to no formal training, and with 4-6 hours of training, users can master advanced simulation techniques. This simplicity ensures quicker adoption and increased productivity across design and engineering teams.

Altair Inspire Form Multi Stage Virtual Tryout

Multi-Stage Virtual Tryout

With Altair Inspire Form™, users can simulate multi-stage forming processes, ensuring that every stage of the stamping process is optimised for maximum efficiency. The virtual tryout approach allows users to visualise, test, and perfect complex forming operations before production begins.

The software offers support for progressive and transfer die layouts, enabling users to validate every stage of the forming process and improve manufacturing precision.
