In order to help customers solve problems related to metal forming manufacturing, JCL provides comprehensive sheet metal stamping mold designservices before starting tool development. Detailed sheet metal stamping mold design and risk assessment can help reduce unnecessary and unreasonable investment. Keep the actual investment close to the budget, so as to maintain efficiency and avoid overspending and delays that often occur during the sheet metal stamping projects.
Feasibility check is always important when we run our sheet metal stamping projects from product design phase to manufacturing design. Our engineers will review below items to guarantee the part meets the forming requirement and feedback to our customer the necessary design change. Some of the items need to be consider such as
Materials Types, Weight & Thickness
Machine Tonnage
Tool Size
Part Dimension & Tolerances
Surface Condition
Edge Condition
Web Condition
Spacing Between Features
Extrusions & Countersink
Embossing Style
Tab & Notch Width
Blank Corner Radius
Hole Size
Flange Size
Forming Position & Depth
To assure sheet metal stamping mold design is ready for tooling kickoff, we will propose a rapid prototyping validation. We can make the prototype parts in a couple of days by a series of processes, several functional testing also will be conducted for preliminary performance evaluation.
Laser Cutting-sheet metal cutting services
CNC Bending-custom sheet metal bending
EDM Wire Cutting
CNC Machining
3D Printing
In some cases, a single station short run proto-tooling is required to understand the sheet metal stamping mold design improvement or a small volume run for production readiness. Short run tool is a good way to examine before mass production because of the below advantages.
Low Cost
Short Leading Time
Tooling Processing Flexibility
Design Change Adaptability
Prepare for Production
The final sheet metal stamping mold design, material choice, process and equipment, specifications, functional testing will be all included in the sheet metal DFM tooling, our team from engineering, quality, production and sheet metal stamping projects management will take each's responsibility and prepare for official production approval. Some contents in sheet metal DFM tooling such as
Feeding System
Strip Specification
Forming Steps & Layout
Punch & Die Cross Section Structure
Draw Depth & Clearance
Once the tool has been manufactured from our tooling house, we need to instantly start the tryout and validate the DFM tooling design before full-scale production. It enables the fine-tuning of process parameters that affect the deep draw manufacturing and also allows detection of production issues that may arise.
