Logopress is a specialized 3D die design software developed specifically for the tool and die industry. Since its inception in 1989, it has become a "Gold Certified" partner for SolidWorks, meaning it integrates directly into the SolidWorks environment to streamline the creation of progressive dies and stamping tools.

: Rapidly calculates the flat blank for complex bent parts using standards like the German D6935 to ensure accuracy across individual radii.

, enabling tool and die makers to automate complex sheet metal forming workflows. For over a quarter of a century, this specialized software from France has transformed how engineers approach part flattening, strip layout, and progressive die design. By embedding dedicated tooling intelligence directly inside a mainstream parametric CAD environment, it eliminates manual calculations and accelerates the path from blueprint to the production floor. Core Engineering Modules of Logopress

Before a die can be built, the flat blank must be defined. For simple extrusions, SOLIDWORKS can calculate a neutral axis. For complex, double-curvature automotive parts, this is impossible without specialized solvers. Logopress Blank uses a one-step inverse solver (finite element analysis simplified for rapid iteration) to unfold a 3D part into a 2D blank. It accounts for material thinning, anisotropy (directional properties of rolled metal), and predicts the initial blank shape required to achieve the final geometry. This module is transformative: it allows designers to simulate the "reverse" process—starting with the finished part and calculating the necessary flat sheet.
