EDA developed the BSI Tool Designer (BSI-TD), a specialized CAD-based application that makes it easy to manipulate files created by die layout design programs. With BSI-TD, a user can readily create a blanking tool based upon a specific die layout file. More than just a design and parts assembly program, the BSI-TD program creates a CAD drawing and bending instructions for grid bars and presser rails and generates output files for laser machines. It keeps track of all the components used to design the blanking tool (and their pricing) and further provides a Part Summary Report that lists all drawing components and their total cost.

In conjuction with BSI, EDA has developed software to control a hydraulic-bending machine for the purpose of bending the grid bars designed by the BSI Tool Designer (BSI-TD) program. This software takes into account both materal spring back and material lengthing at various bend angles, thus allowing grid bar material to be bent perfectly the first time, which in turn reduces both material waste and lost man hours.

Finally, EDA developed the BSI website: www.BlankingSystems.com, which features downloadable 3D models for all BSI parts and equipment. BSI staff maintains the site by using built-in online tools created by EDA to edit part descriptions, change images and add files for their users to download. The website also features a "Members Only" section where BSI-approved users can create an account and access the latest demos and full versions of the BSI Tool Designer software.
