Sheet metal forming and assembly simulation software for automotive OEMs
AutoForm develops specialized simulation and design software for automotive manufacturing, used by all Top 20 OEMs and their suppliers. The stack—ASP.NET Core, Angular, PostgreSQL, AWS, Docker—reflects a mature web platform, but the active adoption of PyTorch, TensorFlow, and JAX signals a shift toward ML-driven process optimization. Recent projects include prototype ML models for forming prediction and a vent-hole placement suggestion feature, indicating the company is moving beyond pure simulation into AI-assisted design.
