FASTBLANK 5.3

FASTBLANK by Forming Technologies Inc. (FTI) is a specialized solution for sheet‑metal stamping that quickly determines the optimal flat blank for a formed part and maximizes material utilization. Starting from 3D CAD geometry, FASTBLANK calculates the developed blank outline and size while accounting for material stretch and deformation, delivering a far more accurate result than simple geometric unrolling.

Designed for tooling engineers, process planners, and cost estimators, the software streamlines quoting and early process planning by predicting blank area, perimeter, and coil or sheet requirements in minutes. It helps reduce scrap, shorten tryout cycles, and produce consistent, data‑driven cost and material estimates.

Key capabilities:

• Automatic blank development from 3D part models, including complex stampings and flanged features
• Accurate estimation of blank size, shape, and material usage with consideration for forming effects
• Nesting optimization to select coil width, pitch, and orientation for best yield and lowest cost
• Fast what‑if studies for materials, thicknesses, orientations, and allowances
• Clean export of blank outlines and nest layouts (e.g., DXF) and clear summary reports for quoting and tooling
• Works alongside FTI’s forming and cost solutions to support a complete stamping workflow

With FASTBLANK, teams can move from concept to confident estimates quickly, improving quoting accuracy and reducing both material waste and lead time in die design and manufacturing.
