Studies the detailing and design of blanking, piercing, and forming dies. Covers material reaction to shear, cutting clearances and net gauging.

MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:

  1. Use proper terminology unique to die design, punch presses, and stamping operations.
  2. Identify the functions of the various parts of a typical single state dies.
  3. Identify die design procedure and appreciate the significance of each step in the process.
  4. Calculate die clearances (including allowances) for various types and thickness of metals.
