 ABSTRACT :

 The project focused on sheet metal punch and die, where these dies are functioned with their own criteria. Due to this,
people are suffered from investing more money in die sets. They can't able to overcome the profit with better margin.
This project is also based on a new design of die punch. The main aim of this project is to design a new die and also
reduce the weight of the material by means of changing the material of die set. The project mainly focuses on different
operations done on single die set in a single stroke of the press. These operations are leading to reduce the production
rate and increasing the cycle time with cost as well. In this project we replace die material by changing high speed tool
• steel to cold work tool steel. As per our new die set, this should constantly eliminate the loss in the production time

and reduce the manpower for loading and unloading of the work piece. The parts of die sets, punch and die are designed
and assembled in the Creo Parametric 1.0.

 INTRODUCTION
 In today's manufacturing landscape, the efficiency and precision of sheet metal fabrication play a pivotal
role in meeting the demands of diverse industries. Sheet metal punch and die technology stand as
fundamental tools in this process, enabling the accurate shaping, cutting, and forming of metallic
component
 A die is located on the opposite side of the work piece and supports the material around the perimeter of the hole and
helps to localize the shearing forces for a cleaner edge. There is a small amount of clearance between the punch and
the die to prevent the punch from sticking in the die and so less force is needed to make the hole.

 A die is a specialized tool used in manufacturing industries to cut, shape and form a wide variety of products and
components. Like models and templates, dies are generally customized and uniquely matched to the product they are
used to create.

 For the forming of sheet metal such as automobile body parts, two parts may be used, one, called the punch, performs
the stretching, bending, piercing and/ or blanking operation. While another part, called the die block, securely clamps
the work piece and provides similar stretching, bending, piercing and blanking operations.

 Most of the construction machinery equipment parts assembled are made by mild steel. In many industries press tool
calculations, designing and drafting are done manually. But in the modern era, the computer has played an important
role in various fields. One of the major applications of computer in production engineering is “CAD/CAM”.
 Punching is a forming process that uses a punch press to force a tool, called a punch, through the work
piece to create a hole via shearing. Punching is often the cheapest method for creating holes in sheet
materials in medium to high production volumes.

 Punch tooling (punch and die) is often made of high speed tool steel (18% tungsten, 4% chromium, 1% vanadium,
and only 0.5–0.8% carbon) or cold work tool steel (high carbon steels containing smaller amounts of manganese,
tungsten, molybdenum, and chromium).

• IJRET: International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology in this journal the various aspects
of Sheet metal punch and die is described. It deals with different operations performed in this process and
about different types of dies and their material properties

• Laszlo Horvath, Imre J. Rudas concluded that product design requires frequent modifications of earlier
LITERATURE SURVEY
decisions moreover modifications of result of a decision often causes a need to modification of result of
other decisions, it requires contribution of original decision maker or authorized engineer Because live
communication between engineers typically is not available. The only effective way is to describe their
intent in product model to be modified Computer modeling should be extended to this area. The author
purpose a computer method to assist the modifications of decisions by modeling of design intent, but
intent of original designer is required to do this without loss of quality and functionality of component
• Sung-Bo Sim, Sung-Taeg Lee concluded that the FEM simulation increased draw ability of production
part for this progressive die development of five step drawing. The results of fine quality of production
part were accomplished without fail by tryout and its revision after die components making and
assembling. The auto-feeding treatment with a relevant attachment was comparative effect for this
production part material strip progression.
 PROBLEM STATEMENT

 The sheet metal working processes is used in various aspects not only for industrial purposes and also
utilized for commercial purposes as well. Due to this, peoples are in Micro small medium scale industries
suffered from investing more in single die set. They are unable to overcome the profit with better margins.
The Aim of the project is to increase production rate ,decrease cost by changing die material from high
. speed tool steel to cold work tool steel.
 METHODOLOGY
The methodology of designing sheet metal punch and die involves several key steps and considerations. Here
is a general overview of the methodology involved

1. Design and Development:

•Conceptualization: Generate innovative design concepts based on research findings and identified industry
• needs.
Methodology
•CAD Modeling: Utilize Solid Works software to create detailed 3D models of the proposed punch and die
sets, considering precision, adaptability, and efficiency.

2. Prototyping and Manufacturing:

•Material Selection: Choose appropriate materials (e.g., tool steel, carbide, advanced alloys) based on the
intended use and design requirements.
•Prototyping: Use rapid prototyping techniques (e.g., 3D printing, CNC machining) to create physical
prototypes of the innovative punch and die sets.
 • Solid Works version 2021 is the software use to make the model and the prototype is made by using the
FDM Processes with Graphite material by addition of layers

Perform detailed inspections and measurements to verify compliance with industry standards and project objectives.

• Medical Equipment Manufacturing
• Consumer Goods and Appliances
 CONCLUSION
• In this chapter, the main conclusions are drawn from the results obtained in the research.
• A comparative study has been made between high speed tool steel to cold work tool steel.
• A detailed study on the material properties has be conducted.
• From the results, it is concluded that cold work tool steel (D2) are better than high speed tool steel
which exhibits high strength ,hardness and wear resistance which can be achieved.
Advantages
• Cold work tool steel is having higher corrosion resistance and more life than high speed tool steel.
• Also, Cold work tool steel has less chances of damage as compared to high speed tool steel due to less
toughness
