QForm UK Extrusion simulation program predicts material flow and helps estimate the quality of final production. The software is intended for the simulation of any kind of profiles including solid and hollow profiles with shapes of any complexity. QForm UK Extrusion is the only software that takes into account the influence of die set deflection on the material flow.

QForm UK Extrusion is a great tool to create a much faster and reliable workflow of extrusion process development as for die designers as well for extrusion units. But also, it can be used as a tool for teamwork and communication between tool and profile manufacturers.

Die set manufacturers or tool shop engineers usually do not burden themselves with velocity-temperature balance and other extrusion process-specific parameters that are very important for extrusion unit in terms of product quality and process efficiency. Simulation results sharing gives these two parties opportunity to collaborate, create reliable extrusion processes without die set trials and even to educate each other, increase overall quality of design and technology.

Here we propose several workflow schemes for different use cases of pre-manufacture die set design process. When both parties are satisfied with design solution approved by real technological parameters, die set is ready to be manufactured.
