Abstract
The article describes a computerised approach to the prediction of bla nk shapes for arbitrarily shaped components which have doubly-curved s urfaces. Blank shapes can be developed rapidly using a standard person al computer. In this work, an industrial component has been modelled b y a CAD program, its geometric data exported to a special purpose prog ram (DYNSRF) and then its blank shape was predicted. The predicted res ults were found to be in good accordance with the real blank shape geo metry.
