617-125 Blanking and Compound Die Design
Utilizes die design software to transform part drawings into completed metal stamping die designs. Students calculate blanking and stripping forces, select a punch press and incorporate standard die components and materials to meet the design requirements. Students apply die clearance to the die cutting components to satisfy part size dimensions. (Prerequisites: 617-108 Orthographic Projection Concepts; 617-114 CADD (Computer-Aided Design and Drafting), SolidWorks; 617-120 Die Making Processes)
Students taking this course will learn how to design three different types of metal stamping dies. The students are given CAD files of the desired part and asked to design a metal stamping die that could be built to produce the part. Students are responsible for designing a Pierce and Blank Die, a compound die, and a real-life product die. Each design shows individual plan views and various section views of the die along with a completed Bill of Material. The first two designs are completed using die design software in association with AutoCAD in a two-dimensional environment. The third design can either be two-dimensional or three-dimensional depending on the students desire and ability. Later in the course, the students are given a progressive bending die and asked to detail every component of the die that isn’t purchased. Students are evaluated in the course by their completed die design drawings, tests, course assignments and core abilities. Click on the link below to see an example of a die design that was designed by a former student and was eventually built by the Tool Making program in order to produce the Green Repair Tool part. Also click on the link below to see a three-dimensional die design that a former student did using SolidWorks design software.
