Especially for multi-stage processes, the Trim Optimizer delivers significantly better results than the standard methods based on inverse one-step simulation.

TROP automatically adjusts the trim line
to remove or add sheet metal until the desired part boundary is
achieved. Optimum trim line-blank shape is necessary for the sheet metal
forming process. The trim optimization not only prevents the wastage of
material or reduces product development period but also improves
product quality and reduces occurrence of defects like wrinkling and
tearing.

The trim line is rapidly determined to ensure that the desired shape and dimensions of the part boundary are obtained at the end of those operations which follow the trimming operation.
