Before you call

Tool and die: the short version

Making the dies, molds, punches and fixtures that other machines use to make parts.

When you need it

  • A die for a new stamped part
  • Injection or die cast molds
  • Jigs and fixtures for assembly
  • Repair of a worn die

What to send the shop

  • Part drawing or 3D model
  • Material and thickness of the part
  • Yearly quantity
  • The press or machine it will run in

Typical lead time

New dies and molds take time. Ask for the date with the quote.

Ask the shop

3 questions worth asking

  1. Q1

    Do you design the die or only build it?

  2. Q2

    Can you run the parts too?

  3. Q3

    Do you repair dies made by others?

Questions

Tool and die FAQ

How long have die shops worked in Los Angeles?

Some for decades. Husky Industries has made punches and dies since 1961. STADCO has built tooling since 1941.

Can one shop make the die and the parts?

Some can. Cygnet Stamping & Fabricating in Glendale makes tooling and runs stamped parts. Ask each shop.

Do shops here make plastic molds?

Yes. Ask for mold making and say the plastic and quantity.

Good to know

  • Say the yearly quantity. It decides how tough the die must be.
  • Ask who owns the die once you pay for it.
