<br>At ESI, we understand the constant pressure OEMs and suppliers face to reduce development cost while maintaining a very high level of engineering innovation. Manufacturers have to deliver high precision assemblies consistently to meet stringent tolerances, while satisfying durability requirements. In this environment, the ability to design and verify sheet metal and tube forming dies quickly, as well as account for weld-induced distortion and residual stresses, plays an increasingly important role in product design and process planning. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
