Solidworks for tool & die

[tubapaul]

Any SolidWorks users out there using it for progressive die design?

If so, are you using a prog. die package like 3D QuickPress?

If you aren't using QuickPress, what's your preferred method of generating a strip--using assembly mode with a family of sheet metal parts with various features suppressed, or dropping all the features on the piece part into the design library and modelling the strip layout as a single sheet metal part?

Thanks,

Paul

Two of our prog die suppliers are using SolidWorks. Both of them use some additional software to develop strips. None of them use 3D QuickPress.

I could be the world's greatest underachiever, if I could just learn to apply myself.
