Logopress3

For over 20 years Logopress' only business has been the development of die design software for the Tool & Die Industry as well as Flattening and Blank prediction software for many kinds of parts. Up until 2002 we provided 2D software solutions in France. In 2000, after 3 years of research and development in 3D technology, we decided to also develop 3D parametric solutions and to expand our business worldwide.

Logopress3™ is currently used in over 30 countries around the world.

Our entire line of 3D products has achieved SolidWorks™ Gold Partner status. Every day we continue to improve our software keeping in mind this high requirement of SolidWorks™ integration.

Blank Predictions

Logopress3™ BLANK functions allow the user to quickly and easily predict the theoretical blank of 3D formed parts.

blankThe Finite Element Analysis advanced functions helps both at the quotation stage and in the die design process. It minimizes development time in the press. Beyond the Tool & Die Industry's needs, Logopress3™ BLANK can also be used to flatten various applications, such as: cloth, plastics, adhesives, leather, inflatable objects, packaging...

Native SolidWorks™ models as well as imported models can be used.

The mesh is fully automatic but its size can also be adjusted if the user wishes to do so. There is no need to be a mechanical engineer with finite element analysis skills to handle the Logopress3™ BLANK module because it is very user friendly.

The Logopress3™ BLANK module is included inside the full die design package of course but can also be independently purchased if you don't need to design strip layouts and complete dies.

Logopress3F is the package that includes both Logopress3™ BLANK capabilities and Logopress3™ Unbending capabilities (including multi-stage unbending management too).

- Key functions :

 

Unbending

Functions
In only a few mouse clicks you can unfold your part and then model the intermediate stages that will allow defining the process that will become your strip layout. This can be done from a native SolidWorks™ model or from an imported model, without preparing it in any specific way.

Unbending

These unfolding/unbending features can very easily be edited. This way, you can switch from a full unbending to a partial unbending. You can change the partial unbending angle value, you can manage the spring back options, the bend allowance, etc.

Strip Layout

Functions 
The strip layout module can be used for both progressive dies and transfer dies. It allows quickly modeling the true solid 3D strip in a very easy and logical way, resulting from our almost 20 years experience shared with passionate die designers.

StripLayout

The Logopress3™ strip module can be started from a blank and a folding/stamping process that was first defined using the Logopress3™ Unbending and Flattening tools or from dumb imported data provided by your customers or partners.

Any kind of parts, even those with non-constant thickness, are able to be managed. It also allows managing multiple parts in one strip, whether they be identical, mirrored or completely different parts in the same strip.

The Logopress3™ strip package is included inside the full die design package but can also be independently purchased if you don't need to design complete dies. In that case it also includes the flattening package and it's the perfect solution for your quotation needs.

Round Draw Module

Logopress3™ strip layout module also includes great and specific features and capabilities dedicated to Round Draw Parts

For those who have to manage this kind of parts, this may mean saving several hours of work or even several days! Take a look at the pictures below they speak more than a long explanation would, knowing that all of this is done in less than 5 minutes!

Roound Draw

It's also important to highlight that as everything is parametric, any changes can be done very quickly. In addition to that, you will find it very interesting to note that this is not newly developed technology, but rather has been well proven for 18 years in our Logopress2 2D product.

- Key functions :

 

Standard Component Library

Logopress3™ Die Design Software includes a powerful Tool Structure Assistant that allows you to quickly model the main die components. It is also very useful throughout the entire die design process when you need to insert additional plates.

You can very easily and very quickly insert a plate or an assembly of plates and then adjust its dimensions. The plates can be named at this point and material type and heat treatment can also be specified at the time of insertion. It also acts as a Mate Manager so that you don't have to search the feature tree for mates.

Tool Structure

- Tool Structure Assistant

No Die design software is complete without an extremely comprehensive Standard Components Library. The only way to understand how powerful, user friendly, flexible, customizable, strong and complete the one Logopress3™ offers is to see it.

It manages both millimeter and inch components and includes literally dozens of vendors that you are also able to add to. It not only inserts the component you select but also cuts every hole in each plate and automatically manages all mates.

Tool and Die

Functions
Logopress3™ also includes powerful features to "Mount" (cut all openings in all plates) the cutting, bending and forming punches. Punch Mounting would be a huge amount of work without this dedicated feature since so many die components are involved which each needing different clearances. Logopress3™ easily manages this with only a few mouse clicks and dialog box settings. After you define the first one, Logopress3™ stores your preferences in order to save even more time for the next mounting.

A Die Design package would not be complete without a specific and powerful Hole Chart Feature. Just a few mouse clicks will save a lot of dimensioning time.

Obviously, Logopress3™ takes full advantage of SolidWorks™ ease of use and power and includes many other dedicated tools based on our nearly 20 years of experience that will make today's modern die designers much more productive. In the end, you will be much more profitable.

Dynamic Interference Detection and Animation

In addition to all of these tools & features designed to increase your productivity, Logopress3™ also includes an Intelligent Animation command, which provides far more than just an interesting but non-functional animation. it automatically does interference and collision detection throughout the die while showing the entire die operating as if it were in the press, including the strip lifting and advancing with each press stroke. This assures that mistakes are caught at the design stage and not at the much more expensive and time consuming build stage of the die.
