Fully parametric 3D CAD models of deep drawing tools require an enormous amount of temporal and financial effort which makes design engineers shy away from it. The Institute of Forming Technology and Machines (IFUM) and the Society for the Advancement of Applied Computer Science (GFaI) are currently developing a new method for the model driven design of deep drawing tools. The core of this method is a graphical modelling language for this domain that is based on and compatible with SysML but improves several diagram types. The new language aims to make the modelling of parametric relations and dependencies easier and less error‐prone.
