Toolmaking - Compound Die Making
Login to get an online quote for compound die tool making or conduct an advanced search of our network.
Compound dies are simpler dies than progressive dies and are often used when the quantities of parts produced don't warrant the expense of a progressive die. Compound dies can be large or small to handle varying thicknesses of metal-big and heavy duty for thick gauge metal; smaller for components.
There is some overlap in die descriptions: there are hybrid compound dies, which can exert force on the metal in different directions, and complex compound dies, which use nitrogen cylinders.
Compound dies are manufactured by toolmakers using machining techniques such as EDM wire cutting, sinker EDM machining and CNC machining.
