Stampack GmbH

What Stampack GmbH does

Stampack GmbH, founded in 2018 in Bietigheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, develops proprietary finite element (FE) simulation software for sheet metal forming processes. The company's technology stack is anchored by an in-house FE solver — tracing its lineage to a 1976 Ph.D. thesis on plastic flows in metals — paired with a custom graphical user interface. Its platform is organized around two core product lines. Stampack Xpress is a modular system for tool designers, requiring no prior FE or materials science knowledge, with modules for Solid simulation (3D accuracy for thick sheets), Shell simulation (fast thin-sheet calculation), Springback + Compensation (with undercut removal), Trim Optimizer (blank and trim-line optimization), Import2Mesh (geometry ingestion), a free Viewer, and an integrated CAPY-Q.form robustness analysis add-on. Stampack Advanced extends coverage to stretch bending, coining, ironing, thick sheet forming, and hydroforming of multi-chamber profiles.

The company monetizes through software licenses (recurring subscription), paid training (€1,200 per person for a 12-hour basic course; €400 for 4-hour springback courses), and engineering services spanning feasibility studies, method planning, and tool design. Go-to-market combines direct sales for Austria, Switzerland, and Germany with a global network of authorized resellers covering Benelux, France, Italy, the UK, Turkey, the USA, Canada, China, Japan, South Korea, India, Indonesia, and Malaysia/Singapore. Customer focus is on automotive OEMs and tier suppliers, aerospace, household appliances, electrical/connector manufacturers, and tool design departments. Following its October 2024 acquisition by AutoForm-Gruppe, Stampack operates as a subsidiary maintaining a two-releases-per-year cadence, retaining its 15-person team across its German headquarters and an R&D office in Castelldefels, Spain.

Core offering

Stampack GmbH develops and sells sheet metal forming simulation software, centered on two product lines: Stampack Xpress, a practical forming simulation package for tool designers that requires no prior FEM knowledge, and Stampack Advanced, which extends simulation to stretch bending, coining, ironing, thick sheet forming, and hydroforming. The software enables virtual tryout of progressive, transfer, and prototype tooling processes, including springback compensation, trim optimization, and robustness analysis, helping customers reduce physical press testing and accelerate time to market.

Product overview

Stampack GmbH offers a platform-plus-modules architecture centered on two core product lines: Stampack Xpress and Stampack Advanced. Stampack Xpress is the practical forming simulation designed for tool designers, offered as a modular system including Solid simulation (for maximum accuracy with thick sheets), Shell simulation (for fast calculations with thin sheets), Springback + Compensation (for dimensional accuracy), Trim Optimizer (for blank optimization), Import2Mesh, Viewer (free), and CAPY-Q.form robustness analysis. Stampack Advanced extends capabilities to stretch bending, coining, ironing, thick sheet forming, and hydroforming. Both products share the same proprietary finite element solver and graphical user interface developed internally by the company.
