Fewer trial runs, fewer forming stations, better material utilization—that’s what Stampack promises with the latest version of its simulation software, Stampack Xpress 2026.1. The company will showcase this software at Euroblech 2026. “With Stampack Xpress, designers can address key cost drivers early on,” emphasizes Dr. Luca Hornung, Managing Director of Stampack GmbH. “Volume simulation reduces the need for trial-and-error testing on the actual die; optimized material utilization saves more than one percent in material costs; and a well-designed process can reduce the number of die stations required.”

Numerous New Features and Improvements

As in previous versions, version 2026.1 includes extensive improvements to the calculation module and the user interface. A total of 51 new features and improvements have already been implemented in 2026. The company is placing a particular emphasis on the analysis and presentation of simulation results. The new Report Manager automatically exports results to PowerPoint presentations, while the View Manager simplifies the creation, management, and reuse of various result views. For symmetrical parts, Stampack Xpress can now display the entire component during postprocessing. Even more accurate springback calculations are now possible by incorporating the actual measurement conditions into the simulation.

One Software Solution for Many Areas of Application

Stampack enables the simulation of forming operations using both the shell solver and, more accurately, its own volume solver. In version 2026.1, the solid forming processes in the volumetric solver were optimized and further developed. This makes it possible to simulate embossing down to 10 percent of the initial sheet thickness. This broad range of applications is reflected in the customer base: It includes suppliers of tools for large automotive body parts as well as leading toolmakers specializing in high-speed presses for the connector industry.

“Above all, Stampack Xpress takes the pressure off us in mechanical manufacturing and provides a high degree of reliability in the design process,” emphasizes Markus Peter, Head of Mechanical & Automation Engineering at Hirschmann Automotive. The software reduces the number of correction loops and shortens turnaround times in that area. More than 240 companies worldwide, spanning all areas of sheet metal forming, now use Stampack. Even major automotive OEMs accept Stampack results from their suppliers.

"Reliable Prediction of Workpiece Behavior"

Stampack offers interfaces to all CAD systems used in toolmaking and is utilized directly in tool design rather than in specialized simulation departments. Simulation in the early stages makes it possible to test various solutions and implement more complex forming operations without the need for a trial tool. Martin Gall, Head of Project Planning and Design at Kramski, sums it up: “Stampack allows for precise simulation of forming processes and a very reliable prediction of workpiece behavior.”
