This output should be "required" when the client
needs an accurate
blank shape development through the forming process.
The end result is
an IGS file containing the developed blank outline
and can be used for
first try blank development.
In many cases, the development will be accurate enough
to be
considered "final" however, it is always recommended
that a laser cut
or proto cut blank is trialed first from this data.
A blanking tool should not
be cut directly from this data!
The difference between this result and a one step result,
is that the
entire forming process is considered, stage by stage. This
means if the
actual tool build matches the process simulated, this blank
development
will be very accurate in reality.
