We are experts in tooling design,
developing the proper sequence to create a finished part from a
flat strip. This is the most critical step of the tooling design
process and is paramount to a robust manufacturing process. It is
also the most engineering intensive and requires knowledge of many
disciplines including material shearing, material forming,
material springback, die design, die materials, die build, die
maintenance, manufacturing set-up, manufacturing operation,
product quality control, secondary process operation and process
capability. Our tooling design offers complete services in all of
these areas; we are able to consider all factors to design
excellence into our processes.
Our tooling design staff is happy to assist customers in their
design efforts. Our engineers can offer input on manufacturing
considerations, material selection, selection of plating and other
secondary operations, assembly automation features, and a variety
of value-added processes such as in-die assembly or tapping.
Suggestions for the tooling design are made by conceptualizing the
manufacturing process in great detail. This ensures that the
completed design is optimized for both performance and
manufacturing. Raw material can be prepared to eliminate secondary
processing. Precious metals such as gold and palladium can be
selectively plated in order to provide those properties only where
needed.
Thin tooling design strips of precious metal can be bonded to a
base material to provide the same advantages of selective plating.
These strips can be inlayed to provide a constant thickness.
Multi-thickness strips can be produced to enable the manufacture
of parts with varying wall thickness.
Strips of hard tempered materials can be annealed in specific
areas to provide localized ductility for stamping or for an
application such as crimping.
Technical tooling design combinations are saddle, western floral,
broach leather designs and leather stamp. Learn the rules for
welding of urethane or basics of blow molding bottle ranging from
