Stainless Steel Forging and Stamping Die Manufacture

Who cuts the die for my forging or stamping, and does the forge house do it in-house or send it out?

What it is

Cutting the impression into a forging or stamping die. A press is only as capable as the die in it, so die manufacture is a real constraint on forging capacity rather than a detail, and die life, not press tonnage, often sets the unit cost.

    Precision metal stamping is the core business and tooling is in house, which implies stamping die manufacture. The site does not describe die sinking explicitly; confirm it.
