Compound Die

Compound Die Overview

What is Compound Die?
Compound dies are used in the metal stamping process to form parts from thin steel and aluminum stock. Metal stamping and compound dies are used in a variety of industries including automotive, electronics, medical, consumer products and aerospace. Compound dies are normally designed and manufactured by tool and die shops. Typically a designer will study the final geometry of the part to be formed and design a die or set of dies that will produce the part with no or minimal post processing required.
