Custom Tooling & Die Design

Custom tooling is the shaped die set used to press a specific powder metallurgy part. Die design requires a full review of the part drawing so the final geometry, density and dimensions are achievable before the tool is built.

How the process works

  • Engineers review the part drawing for pressability, material and tolerance.
  • A die set is designed and built to produce the net-shape features.
  • Samples are confirmed with the customer before series production.

When it is used

  • Every custom PM part requires its own tooling
  • When part geometry must be validated before volume production
  • When material and tolerance requirements must be matched

Suitable geometry

  • All net-shape pressed features

Secondary operations

  • None directly; supports downstream processes

Typical applications

  • Custom gears
  • Custom bushings
  • Structural custom parts

Advantages

  • Part-specific, repeatable production
  • Engineering review in the first step of the project
  • Sample confirmation before mass production

Limitations

  • Tooling is a one-time cost, most economical in volume
  • Development time adds lead time before production
