Custom Stamping and Forming Dies for Production-Ready Manufacturing
Wisconsin Metal Parts designs and builds custom stamping and forming dies to support precision metal stamping applications from concept through full production. Our in-house tool room develops tooling solutions that prioritize durability, accuracy, and long-term production efficiency. We work closely with customers early in the process to optimize part design, material selection, and tooling approach, ensuring the final die performs reliably under real production conditions.
Stamping & Forming Die Capabilities
Our full-service tool room designs and builds a wide range of dies for complex geometries, tight tolerances, and varying production volumes. With capabilities up to 96” in length and 200 tons, we’re equipped to handle even the most demanding tooling challenges.
Core die capabilities include:
- Progressive dies
- Single-hit dies
- Forming dies
- Draw dies
- Compound dies
- Transfer dies
- Fine blanking dies
- In-die insertion and tapping solutions
Tooling Design & Engineering
Our engineering team supports tooling development from concept through completion, with a strong focus on design for manufacturability. This process ensures tooling is optimized for performance, longevity, and production efficiency, before manufacturing begins.
Capabilities include:
- 3D tooling design in SolidWorks
- Simulation of bending, forming, and drawing processes
- Identification of potential problem areas early in design
- Material selection guidance for optimal performance
- Sensor integration planning to protect tooling during operation
Precision Tooling Manufacturing
Our in-house tool room is equipped to build high-precision dies with tight tolerances and durable components.
Manufacturing capabilities include:
- Wire EDM (WEDM) for precision cutting
- Fine grinding to achieve tight tolerances
- Expertise in tool steels and carbide components
We routinely work to tolerances of ±0.0001”, ensuring high accuracy in cutting and forming operations. Our tooling is designed to maximize insert life and minimize maintenance downtime, especially in high-volume applications.
Tryout, Debugging & Production Validation
Before delivery, all dies are fully tested to ensure production readiness.
Capabilities include:
- Die tryout presses from 30 to 200 tons
- Full feed lines to simulate production conditions
- Debugging at production speeds
- Process validation prior to shipment
Quality Assurance & Inspection
All tooling and initial production parts are validated through comprehensive inspection processes. We offer inspection processes capable of First Article Inspection, PPAP, collecting CPK data, lot controlling and functional checks. Parts are fully inspected using vision systems, optical comparators, CMM equipment and functional gages. As an ISO 9001:2015 certified and ITAR registered manufacturer, we maintain strict quality and security standards while ensuring compliance with NIST SP800-171.
