UEL Corp Launches New Scrap Falling Simulation Program to Improve Die Design Efficiency

UEL Corp Launches 'XDaevr SCRAP-FALLING'

UEL Corporation, a part of the BIPROGY Group, has announced the upcoming release of its innovative scrap falling simulation software named XDaevr SCRAP-FALLING. Set to launch in late July 2025, this software aims to streamline the design and manufacturing process of press molds while enabling early detection of potential issues during production.

The Significance of Scrap Management in Press Molding

In the automotive industry, effective management of scrap falling during the press molding process is crucial. Failure to manage scrap can lead to mold damage and production line halts, resulting in increased costs and delayed delivery times. Currently, many manufacturers rely on the expertise of seasoned operators to detect and mitigate scrap falling issues. However, with varied falling patterns, it becomes nearly impossible to foresee and address every situation beforehand. Furthermore, traditional CAD and CAE methods require extensive data preparation and computation time to simulate the dynamic behavior of falling scrap, making their practical application challenging.

Overview of 'XDaevr SCRAP-FALLING'

XDaevr SCRAP-FALLING is designed to simulate the falling behavior of scrap generated during the molding process. The application covers the needs of both mold design and mass production. By incorporating 3D CAD data and scrap geometry data directly, users can validate the falling behavior of scrap. During the validation process, manufacturers can set conditions such as SPM (Shots Per Minute) and material types to assess falling behaviors proactively before mold production begins. Utilizing a development platform that excels in physical simulations, the software mimics the random dynamic behavior of scrap, allowing for quick and easy pre-assessments of scrap falling issues from the design stage.

Moreover, the software features a transparency setting for mold data, enabling users to observe scrap falling inside the mold as well. The simulation can begin immediately after data import, enabling users to conduct quick validations without extensive preparation.

Future Developments and Commitment

UEL is committed to providing the XDaevr SCRAP-FALLING application to 50 companies by 2030. The company plans to enhance features based on customer needs, facilitating issue detection and resolution before the mold production stage, ultimately reducing lead times. In line with the XDaevr series, UEL is also set to expand its product offerings that leverage XR technology, contributing to advancements in Japan's manufacturing sector beyond just the automotive press industry.
