More information
What are cutting dies?
Cutting dies represent a component of modern manufacturing and design, and form the basis of some industrial and artisanal processes. These specialized tools play a critical role in the ability to quickly and efficiently create holes, cutouts or specific shapes in a variety of materials. Using the punching process, where a sharp, custom tool is pressed through the material, enables the creation of detailed and precision-demanding components with a high degree of accuracy and consistency.
Cutting dies typically work through the use of a press, or punch, to drive the punching tool through the material. This force must be carefully controlled and adapted to the properties of the material to avoid damage to the tool or the processed material. The sharp tool/knives often made of steel are tailored to match the desired shape and size of the cut.
How to choose the right cutting dies?
Choosing the right cutting die requires careful consideration of the properties of the material to be processed, the desired shape and the volume of production. It is important to understand the thickness, hardness and flexibility of the materials in order to choose a tool that can deliver high precision and long life.
