High Speed Progressive Dies
Quality by Design
Progressive Stamping Die Design & Engineering
At Composidie, we specialize in high-speed progressive dies, leveraging over 50 years of experience to deliver precision-manufactured dies designed to run without intervention. Our High-speed progressive dies are engineered for durability, repeatability, and consistent performance in demanding production environments. Our skilled tool and die makers, supported by in-house engineers proficient in AutoCAD and SolidWorks, combine deep expertise with advanced technology to ensure exceptional results in progressive metal stamping die design, from initial concept through full-scale production. That expertise extends to compound die stamping, where several cutting operations share a single station for tighter flatness and concentricity.
Engineered progressive die design for high-speed, high-volume production, combining precision tooling, in-house engineering, and decades of experience to deliver consistent, repeatable stamping performance.
The Composidie Advantage
Our commitment to excellence sets us apart in the industry, and the Composidie advantage is clear. Within our facilities, you’ll find an impressive array of Bruderer presses, ranging from 22 to 90 tonnes. These advanced machines not only ensure efficient progressive die design and progressive stamping die design, but also provide a valuable feedback mechanism for constant performance evaluation. Our in-house progressive stamping die engineering capability empowers us to make rapid and effective improvements to die designs, guaranteeing the highest quality and efficiency.
How We Work
Die Design & Engineering Process
Our progressive die design process follows a disciplined, production-driven approach. From initial review through final release, every step focuses on speed, accuracy, and repeatability. By combining engineering analysis, in-house tool build, and real press testing, we ensure each progressive die design is production-ready before launch.
Project Review & Requirements
Each project begins with a detailed review of part geometry, material selection, tolerances, and production volumes. Our engineers evaluate manufacturability early to ensure the progressive die design aligns with performance and cost objectives.
Strip Layout & Die Strategy Development
We develop optimized strip layouts that balance material efficiency, press speed, and part stability. This stage defines the foundation of the progressive die design, ensuring smooth material flow and reduced scrap.
Engineering & Design Modeling
Using AutoCAD 2D and SolidWorks 3D, our team creates detailed progressive die design models. These designs account for forming forces, clearances, wear points, and long-term performance.
In-House Tool Build & Assembly
All progressive dies are built and assembled in-house by experienced tool and die makers. This allows precise control over quality, fit, and function throughout the build process.
Tryout & Production Testing
Progressive die designs are tested on production presses to validate speed, accuracy, and part quality. Real-world testing ensures reliable performance before full release.
Final Optimization & Production Release
Based on test data, final adjustments are made to maximize efficiency and tool life. The progressive die design is then approved for full-scale production.
