Processes Will Die Without a Die – Know How
Dies are crucial for the manufacturing industry. But what are they strike our mind? For laymen, the simplest example of a die is the one kids play within the kindergarten called the molds of the playdough or clay set. It is a pre-shaped tool that works in conjunction with a press to manipulate the material into the desired size and shape. The press forces the material — plastic, metal, or composites — into the die’s cavity, thus creating a new object in the same size and shape as the die. Dies have clearly specific and critical applications. It’s a pivotal decision for the manufacturing industry and needs every aspect to look in before actually finalizing a die as the product or the output depends on it. Once a die has been created, it can only be used to produce objects in that size and shape. The custom dies could be a good cost-effective option or high-volume manufacturing applications, best suitable for faster production. Dies are used to create simple to complex shapes, from ...
