2 Day Educational Webinar!

October 27, 2021

The Schedule

Session 1: Tuesday, December 7th
Session 2: Wednesday, December 8th
*Each session will go from 9AM – 11AM CST

The Sins

  1. Viewing die design and building methods as an “art form”.
  2. Not understanding the impact of the material on the process.
  3. Ignoring the impact of the press with respect to success.
  4. Engineering and building a marginal process.
  5. Letting the press size and tonnage determine your process steps.
  6. Controlling metal flow using blank holder pressure.
  7. Not taking the time to educate press operators and die technicians.

The Purpose

The purpose of this special two part educational webinar is to cover the most common mistakes made by stampers. All too often, poor decisions are made resulting in high scrap rates, tooling and press damage, poor quality dies and tools, unnecessary die repair as well as chaos and frustration.
