Method and system for forming a stamped component using a stamping simulation model

A stamping system for stamping a blank material to provide a stamped component, the stamping system comprising:

• an industrial stamping machine operable to perform a stamping process on a blank material;
• a plurality of sensors disposed to measure one or more parameters selected from among a plurality of parameters prior to the stamping process by the industrial stamping machine, wherein the plurality of parameters is provided as variables of the stamping process;
• and
• a process control system configured to:
• identify, by a stamping process model, any parameters of the plurality of parameters that influence a formability of the stamped component and any parameters of the plurality of parameters that do not influence the formability of the stamped component to adjust the stamping process for the blank material,
• define a mathematical algorithm for each identified parameter of the plurality of parameters that influence a formability of the stamped component, wherein the mathematical algorithm characterizes how other parameters of the plurality of parameters affect each of the identified parameters of the plurality of parameters that influence the formability of the stamped component,
• generate a stamping process model according to the mathematical algorithm, and
• generate, by the stamping process model, a control parameter of the industrial stamping machine for the blank material based on the plurality of parameters that influence the formability of the stamped component, wherein the industrial stamping machine performs the stamping process based on the control parameter to form the stamped component, and wherein:
• the plurality of parameters includes one or more blank parameters, one or more material parameters, and one or more process parameters,
• the one or more blank parameters is indicative of physical characteristics of the blank material,
• the one or more material parameters is indicative of material characteristics of the blank material, and
• the one or more process parameters is indicative of an additive process prior to stamping of the blank material, identified variables of the industrial stamping machine, or a combination thereof.
