The production of complex shaped elements formed from sheet metal requires the use of very precise tools. Designing them with the use of specialized programs such as CAD and supplementing with the visualization of the finished stamp is not always sufficient to guarantee a satisfactory effect. Therefore, a stamping simulation is essential to make sure it is correct before introducing progressive dies or cutting tools into production . Authors and PAM STAMP is the software we use to perform such a simulation. Both programs are a perfect solution for companies wishing to design and launch a new product. PAM STAMP stamping process simulation enables initial part feasibility assessment, tool design and full verification simulation. We can predict how the material will behave during each pressing phase. This solution makes it possible to optimize the process so that the pressed detail does not show any tendency to cracking, folding or excessive springback.

Progressive tools are widely used in many areas of production. They enable the production of many details of the same shape or dimensions in a short time. That is why they are perfect for serial production of machine construction elements, household appliances or utility items. At the same time, they are also used in the production of single prototype elements. Among the many types of tools in this category are progressive dies and dies . The latter can be found, among others, in the automotive industry, where about 95% of elements are formed by forming on presses. Progressive dies, like other tools we supply, are used for plastic working of thin metals. They are multi-measure tools. They perform a specific element in a few movements (tacts), with a different feature assigned to each successive pressure of the die. Dies and other progressive tools consist of a die and a punch. Designed with the use of modern programs such as CAD, they can have very complex shapes.

EDM electric discharge treatment - a metal treatment method based mainly on the exploitation of electrical erosion accompanying electrical discharges. It is mainly used in the processing of specialized machine parts and other difficult-to-cut materials, as it allows for obtaining complex shapes, difficult or impossible to be machined (e.g. internal sharp corners and / or threads in hardened material or carbide), there are also no forces here cuts affecting the workpiece (although there is an impact on the outer layer, which makes further processes difficult, such as polishing). EDM machining includes EDM, anode-mechanical and electro-contact machining. The machining is carried out on cutting machines, saws or anodic-mechanical grinders, etc. It is used for the treatment of sintered carbides and for shaping and regenerating plastic working tools, e.g. forging dies, injection molds.
