Industrializing 4

Die and Mold

Tool Material Grades, Methods,
and Digital Options for Production Effectiveness

The die and mold industrial branch not only consumes more and
more tools but constantly puts forward new demands, which have
a significant impact on advances in cutting tools. These demands
are typical for every metalworking sector.

Specific features of die and mold manufacturing
necessitate special design considerations beyond
the general requirements.
Materials, machined shapes, and machining
strategies are three distinctive hallmarks of die and
mold making, and have a substantial influence
on cutting tool demands. Only a holistic tool
development concept based
on these features, combined with
integration of INDUSTRY 4.0
inspired developments,
will lead to successful
solutions for the die and
mold sector.
