Written for the die designer, not the buyer

Short pieces on the problems that fill a die shop's week: balancing metal flow, getting bearings right, cutting down correction loops and finding the die you already own.

Bearing length calculation: the flow is decided before the press starts

Bearing length is the only parameter you can set differently at every point around a profile. Why it is still the slowest step in die modelling, the three ways to arrive at a length, and what to check before the steel is cut.

One article a month, on the problems that actually cost money

We publish what we would want to read: no product tour, one concrete die per piece, and the numbers behind it.

✓ Balancing a porthole die: what the velocity field shows that the press does not

✓ Die correction: the loops you can remove before cutting steel

✓ Finding a die you already own

✓ Seam welds: where they form and how strong they are

Rather see it on your own die?

Upload a die drawing and we will model it, simulate it and search for it in front of you.
