Trim Die Mold

Progressive and transfer trim dies for sheet metal — blanking, piercing, forming and edge trimming in one stable process.

OVERVIEW

Sheet-metal tooling with the edge held true.

Progressive, transfer and compound dies for trimming and forming.

±0.05 mm

Typical tolerance

0.3–6 mm

Material thickness

4–8 wk

Tooling lead time

25–800 T

Press range

Trim dies decide the fit, edge quality and dimensional consistency of every stamped part. We design and build them around the press, the material and the production volume.

We manufacture progressive dies, transfer dies and compound dies for blanking, piercing, bending, flanging and trimming. Materials include Cr12MoV, DC53, SKD11 and SKH51, with heat treatment, surface coating and stress relief matched to the material thickness and stroke rate.

Typical parts include automotive brackets and structural components, appliance panels, electrical enclosures and hardware. We provide die design, tryout, sample inspection and spare punch/insert sets.

✓ Strip layout and material utilization

✓ Progressive, transfer and compound designs

✓ Hardened punches and replaceable inserts

✓ Tryout, samples and spare parts

CAPABILITIES

What we deliver

Practical capabilities, matched to the tooling and the production volume — not a generic menu.

01

Progressive dies

Multi-station blanking, piercing, forming and trimming with optimized strip layout.

02

Transfer dies

Robotic or manual transfer tooling for larger parts and lower volumes.

03

Blanking & piercing

Punches, dies and strippers designed for clean edges and long sharpening intervals.

04

Bending & forming

Springback control, radius consistency and forming stations matched to the part.

05

Trim & flange

Edge trimming, flanging and cam trimming for complex outer profiles.

06

Tryout & optimization

Press tryout, sample measurement, timing and strip-feed optimization.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What material thicknesses can you tool for?

Typically 0.3–6 mm carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum and galvanized sheet. Thicker or high-strength materials are reviewed case by case.

Do you design the strip layout?

Yes. Strip layout, material utilization, station sequence and press tonnage are part of the die design package.

Can you match an existing die?

Yes. We can reverse-engineer the part and die, or build a replacement die to the original drawings and samples.

What spare parts do you recommend?

We recommend a set of punches, die inserts and springs — typically 10–20% of the active tooling — so production is not stopped by a single wear part.
