T-SIM Solutions

3-D Solutions Design Service, LLC - creator of T-SIM Solutions is a provider of software technology and services to the metal stamping industry. About a decade ago we recognized a need for Transfer Simulation. Corey Chamberlain, innovator and programmer at 3-D Solutions, remembers the beginning well, "Twelve years ago our team started by putting the press and die in full motion. We would save movie files and watch the die and press cycle. We asked ourselves how can this be used to find problems at tryout and home-line runoff?" Development began on the software and process, and the first beta version was born. For three years Transfer Simulation was used to check all the designs completed by 3-D Solutions. Customers immediately saw the benefits as resulting transfer dies had faster home-line runoffs and exceeded production rate goals. Soon customers wanted the same Transfer Simulation service completed on their own die designs, as well as designs completed by other outside sources. With further development and feedback the software and process continually improved and developed to the robust and reliable service it is today. By 2015 the 500th project was successfully run through Transfer Simulation. Word had spread globally on the benefits and cost savings to the metal stamping industry, and once again 3-D Solutions needed to make a change to meet the growing demand. A new division within the company was created, T-Sim Solutions. This helped separate Transfer Simulation from the other services and software products. Although the change was more clerical than one of ownership or staff, both the customers and the staff saw immediate benefits. Communication was more streamlined, technicians could now stay on task, and increased demands for Transfer Simulation could be met.
