Competition in the automotive industry is intensifying, with cost, quality, and time-to-market emerging as the key competitive factors for automakers. The importance of stamping process design to design quality and cost:

The market requires shorter and shorter time to market for new products, lower and lower vehicle prices, and higher and higher requirements for design maturity.

Stamping process problems are due to the rationality of the early design of the product.

Product design generally accounts for only 5% to 15% of the product cost, but it determines 75% of the manufacturing cost and 80% of the product quality and performance.

Therefore, product design plays an important role in the later stamping process design. In particular, decisions made at the earliest stages of product design have a more important impact on product cost, manufacturing and quality. The design philosophy of the designer largely limits the optional methods of manufacturing and assembly, which determines the performance of the product and the cost of manufacturing the product.
