Simulation determined that the part must be deep drawn, with open ends, and then re-trimmed.
It was not possible to product a wrinkle free part from an normal forming or wiping process,
with a developed blank. This fact alone saved massive amounts of tool build cost and tryout time,
had the part been processed the wrong way. Furthermore, simulation showed the final forming station
would split the final forms, and radius increase was required to avoid splits.
