Steel Rule Die
A die is a specialized machine tool used in manufacturing industries to cut and/or form material to a desired shape or profile. '' Stamping dies'' are used with a press, as opposed to '' drawing dies'' (used in the manufacture of wire) and '' casting dies'' (used in molding) which are not. Like molds, dies are generally customized to the item they are used to create. Products made with dies range from simple paper clips to complex pieces used in advanced technology. Continuous-feed laser cutting may displace the analogous die-based process in the automotive industry, among others. Die stamping Blanking and piercing are two die cutting operations, and bending is an example of a die forming operation. Die forming Forming operations work by deforming materials like sheet metal or plastic using force (compression, tension, or both) and rely on the material's mechanical properties. Forming dies are typically made by tool and die makers and put into production after mounting int ...
