ABSTRACT:
According to one embodiment of the present invention, an electronic method for generating a trimline for trimming sheet metal to be stamped to obtain a stamped part is disclosed. The method includes providing a CAD part file representing a part that can be stamped from a sheet metal material; receiving a selection of a part surface on the part to be stamped and a line on the surface; receiving an input of a sheet metal thickness for the sheet metal material; and generating a trimline based on the CAD part file, the line on the surface, and the sheet metal thickness.
