Compound Die Part

Compound Die

Compound Dies are applicable in many metal stamping operations. When metal stamping part requires more than one feature to be stamped and these operations can be run independently of one another, a compound die can be used. Compound dies will provide multiple metal stamping features with each stroke of the press. Furthermore, compound dies provide excellent part flatness.

Deep Draw Die Part

Deep Draw Die

A Deep Draw Die is suitable for metal stamping parts when the material is required to flow or stretch, as opposed to being bent or formed. It is common for deep draw dies to require multiple steps in order to achieve a significant depth.

Form Die

Form Dies are probably the most common metal stamping dies used in the industry. Form dies can be very simple to moderately complex. Form Dies are normally less expensive to manufacture than progressive metal stamping dies, Compound metal stamping dies, and Deep Draw metal stamping dies.
