The lifespan of precision stamping dies depends on the die type, material, usage frequency, and maintenance. Generally, our standard stamping dies can achieve 500,000 to 1,000,000 shots. Dies with special heat treatment and coating can exceed 1,000,000 shots. We provide targeted lifespan evaluations based on your specific requirements.
The customization cycle varies by complexity: standard stamping dies typically take 4-6 weeks, large progressive dies require 8-12 weeks, and hot forming dies need 10-14 weeks. The specific timeline will be confirmed during the project evaluation phase, and we commit to delivering strictly on schedule.
Our die precision is controlled within ±0.01mm, with core component precision reaching ±0.005mm. We are equipped with CMM, laser scanners, and other advanced inspection equipment to ensure every die meets strict precision standards.
We primarily produce automotive stamping dies, including: drawing dies, trimming dies, piercing dies, flanging dies, progressive dies, and hot forming dies. We can also customize checking fixtures and welding fixtures based on customer requirements.
Yes. We support customer-specified die materials, commonly including Cr12MoV, SKD11, DC53, H13, and tungsten carbide. Our engineers will also recommend the most suitable material solution based on product requirements, balancing performance and cost.
We accept small-batch customization, starting from just 1 set. For new customers, we are willing to start with small projects and gradually expand the scope of cooperation as trust is built.
We follow industry-standard payment terms: 30% deposit upon contract signing, 30% after die design approval, 30% before shipment after die acceptance, and 10% balance after the warranty period expires. Specific terms can be negotiated based on the cooperation situation.
Cooperation process: 1) You provide product drawings or samples → 2) We provide die design proposal and quotation → 3) Both parties confirm the proposal and contract → 4) Die manufacturing begins after deposit payment → 5) Trial and debugging → 6) Acceptance and shipment. A dedicated contact person will be assigned throughout the process to ensure smooth communication.
Yes. You can provide 3D drawings (STP/IGS/X_T formats), 2D drawings (DWG/PDF formats), or physical samples. Our engineering team will design the die and provide a DFM (Design for Manufacturability) report for your review.
We have served numerous well-known domestic and international automotive parts companies, with products exported to over 10 countries including Germany, Japan, the United States, India, and Thailand. Please visit our project cases page for specific examples.
Yes. We provide free remote debugging guidance and can arrange engineers for on-site debugging support (additional fees may apply). After debugging, we provide a complete die operation and maintenance manual.
We provide comprehensive after-sales service: 1) During the warranty period (typically 12 months), we repair or replace dies damaged due to normal use free of charge; 2) After the warranty period, we provide repair services at cost price; 3) In emergency cases, we can expedite processing to minimize your downtime.
Yes. We provide a full range of maintenance services including regular inspection, wear part replacement, cutting edge repair, and surface treatment. We recommend establishing a die usage log and conducting regular preventive maintenance to extend die lifespan.
The standard warranty period is 12 months from die acceptance, or until the agreed number of shots is reached (whichever comes first). During the warranty period, we provide free repair services for failures caused by manufacturing quality issues.
Yes. We recommend ordering wear-prone spare parts (such as punches, die inserts, guide pillars and bushings) when ordering the die to reduce downtime. Spare part prices follow the unit prices agreed upon during die quotation.
Common heat treatment processes include: quenching + tempering (improving hardness and wear resistance), nitriding (surface hardening), TD treatment (surface super-hardening, HV up to 3000+), and PVD coating (TiN, TiCN, TiAlN, etc., reducing friction coefficient). We select the most suitable heat treatment solution based on the die's operating conditions and material characteristics.
Die steel selection requires comprehensive consideration of: 1) Product material (sheet metal strength, thickness, etc.); 2) Production volume (Cr12MoV for small batches, SKD11 or DC53 recommended for large batches); 3) Die type (drawing dies prioritize wear resistance, flanging dies prioritize toughness); 4) Cost budget. Our engineers will provide professional material selection advice based on your specific situation.
DFM is an important analysis step before die design. By analyzing the product 3D data for manufacturability, we evaluate stamping formability, springback compensation, and material utilization, identify potential issues (such as cracking and wrinkling), and propose optimization suggestions. The DFM report helps customers avoid manufacturing risks at the design stage and shorten the development cycle.
We ensure machining precision through the following: 1) High-precision machining equipment (5-axis machining centers, wire EDM, precision grinding machines, etc.); 2) Strict in-process inspection (dimensional inspection after each process); 3) Advanced inspection instruments (CMM, laser scanners, profilometers); 4) Temperature-controlled workshop (maintained at 20±2°C).
The die trial process includes: 1) Die assembly inspection (verifying correct installation of all components); 2) Dry run (checking smooth die opening and closing); 3) Trial stamping with material (gradually adjusting stamping parameters to optimal conditions); 4) Product inspection (full dimensional inspection of trial parts); 5) Issue rectification (adjusting the die to meet specifications if deviations are found); 6) Issuing a trial report. The entire process is overseen by experienced trial engineers.
