Think twice Design once. This is what separates the best die engineers from everyone else. The great ones design the die correctly the first time Their secret? A rational and systematic approach to visualize and forecast die conditions and their workable solutions. In other words, the right decisions are made at the right rime for the right reasons.Trim dies pose an interesting dilemma at the design stage. The removal of all engineered scrap from the lower die and press on each cycle is required in most stamping plants. Also of paramount importance is safely engineered stripper-pad-retaining device architecture in the upper die. The typical approach to the design starts with evaluating and strategically planning the die architecture, performing the engineering calculations and establishing the press-part unification.
