Die Shop

Design and manufacturing of proprietary dies and tooling

The die shop is a key element in our production process. We design and manufacture internally the dies and tooling necessary to ensure forging process stability and dimensional repeatability of parts.

Direct control of tooling allows us to ensure consistency between the technical definition of the project and its execution in production.

Forging die design

Hot forging die design based on the validated 3D model, taking into account material behavior, forming sequence, and actual manufacturing conditions.

In-house tooling manufacturing

Proprietary manufacturing of dies and tooling, which allows us to maintain control over lead times, adjustments, and modifications during project development.

Die adjustment and setup on press/hammer

Die adjustment under actual production conditions, making necessary corrections to ensure a stable process before series launch.

Technical capabilities and versatility

Our die shop works in an integrated manner with engineering and production, enabling a smooth transition from simulation and design to die manufacturing and commissioning.

DIE SHOP PROCESS

Defined workflow

Die design and manufacturing is carried out through a structured process, aligned with project engineering and the defined forging process.

1

Technical definition of the die

Starting from the 3D model and process simulation, the die geometry and work sequence are defined.

2

Detailed die design

Development of die design considering fill, flash, radii, material flow, and tool durability.

3

Die manufacturing

Machining and preparation of the die at our facilities, according to defined technical specifications.

4

Adjustment on press/hammer

Die testing and adjustments on press/hammer to validate actual forging process behavior.

5

Production validation

Final approval of tooling once process stability and forged part quality are guaranteed.

SERVICE BENEFITS

Why trust our die shop

Total tooling control: In-house die design and manufacturing ensures consistency between engineering, process, and production.

Reduced iterations and lead times: Integration with simulation and production reduces subsequent adjustments and accelerates commissioning.

Greater process stability: Dies designed specifically for each part, focused on repeatability and durability.

Adaptability and improvement capability: Ability to make adjustments and improvements during the die’s service life based on project evolution.
