Research on Sequence Planning for Sheet Metal Stamping Process

Many different process features are existed in complex sheet metal parts, such as cutting, punching, bending, stretching, forming, etc. Stamping process planning is the most complex and important step in progressive die design. After constraint by sequence planning matrix, synchronized planning matrix, and ideal planning matrix, the feasible schemes are selected from the all solution, and then the optimal solution is selected with the evaluation criteria method.
