The Forging process group enables estimation of manufacturing times and costs for several Closed Die Forging processes, as well as subsequent machining, optional heat treatment, surface treatment, and packaging processes, if your company has licensed these modules. The process model also includes estimates for the costs of necessary tooling. See Closed Die Forging for more information.

In addition, the Forging process group supports estimation of manufacturing times and costs for Ring Rolled Forging processes for making seamless rolled rings with high strength, fatigue resistance, and impact resistance. This process model is intended to be used in conjunction with the 2-Model Machining process group. See Ring Rolled Forging for more information.
