Since our founding in 1988, Wisconsin Metal Parts has provided precision tool and die making services to support high-volume production, tight tolerances, and long-term durability. Our in-house tool room combines advanced equipment, experienced toolmakers, and rigorous process control to deliver tooling that performs reliably under production conditions. That commitment to quality enables us to meet the demands of the defense, automotive, OEM, and other industries.
From stamping dies and prototype tooling to maintenance, repair, and precision grinding, we offer a complete range of services to support your manufacturing operation.
Our tool and die department supports the entire lifecycle of your tooling, from design and build through production runs, ongoing maintenance, and repair. By keeping these capabilities in-house, we ensure quality, reduce lead times, and maintain full control over performance and repeatability.
Our core tool & die services include:
Our approach to tool and die making focuses on long-term production success. Our engineering team can assist with material selection and identify potential problem areas to help optimize the design and manufacturability of your metal part. We staff a full service, in-house tool room that designs and builds prototypes, “Class A,” progressive, single-hit, form, draw, insertion, in-die tapping, fine blank, compound dies and more. We also design and build inspection gages, fixtures and components as well as perform die repairs and maintenance.
Quality is built into every stage of our tooling process, from start to finish. We have inspection capabilities from simple inspection reports and FAIR, up to a full PPAP. As an ISO 9001:2015 certified and ITAR registered manufacturer, we meet strict quality and security standards. Our cybersecurity systems are also aligned with NIST SP800-171, ensuring safe handling of sensitive data and export-controlled information. We understand the critical role tooling plays in production quality and apply strict standards to every project.
Partnering with Wisconsin Metal Parts lets you collaborate with a team focused on precision, reliability, and long-term performance. We are committed to the growth and development of this trade and have an active Tool & Die Apprenticeship program to continuously develop our next generation of tool makers.
What sets us apart:
We are here to serve you and help solve your manufacturing challenges.
WMP is an experienced supplier of custom metal parts for a variety of industries including aerospace, agriculture, medical and food and beverage.
Our main competency is progressive dies, but we build other dies such as draw, deep draw, single hit, compound, fine blank, transfer and a variety of other tools.
Yes, we have a full-service tool room that includes design and build.
Tooling is custom to the part that it is producing, so that will be completely driven by your part print. We have built tooling that makes parts so small that several could fit on a dime. We have also built tooling that makes larger parts, up to .25” thick. We are only limited by tonnage, which is currently 200 tons.
Depending on the project, lead times could be a few weeks to several months, depending on the size and complexity of the tooling.
Yes, we have presses with full feed lines. Our team will debug and get tooling running acceptable parts at production rate before shipping your tooling.
Our tool team leaders send out weekly progress reports showing planned and actual progress. If we are behind, we will communicate that and share our plan to get caught up.
We do make prototypes here. Some might be parts that you just want to hold in your hand and can be produced by any means economical. Or they could be pre-production proto types that need to be produced by actual tooling to be used for testing. We can handle a wide variety of prototyping requirements and inspection options.
Typically, a PPAP is performed by the company that is running the production. If we are building the tool and running it here then we would take care of the PPAP, if that is required. If you (or someone else) are planning to run the production, we will normally provide First Article parts and inspection data from our runoff before shipping the tool. This process is most often driven by individual customer requirements.
