Keysight BM-STAMP 2026

Keysight BM-STAMP 2026 is the industry-leading predictive stamping simulation software for automotive body-in-white manufacturing. Originally developed by ESI Group and now part of Keysight Technologies, it enables engineers to evaluate sheet metal formability, predict springback, and detect surface defects without specialized finite element or meshing expertise.
