This customer story highlights how Interlaken Technology Company used Altair HyperWorks to simulate complex bellows forming processes for aerospace applications. Physical prototyping previously required weeks of testing and multiple costly iterations. Interlaken implemented a virtual workflow using HyperForm, Radioss, and HyperView to analyze material deformation, tooling motion, forming pressure, and springback. The simulations closely matched physical test results, enabling confident optimization of tooling and process parameters. Automation reduced simulation setup time from a full day to just a few hours, even for complex geometries. The approach minimized physical prototypes, accelerated development, reduced costs, and strengthened Interlaken’s simulation-driven manufacturing strategy
