TYPES OF DIE-CUTTING OPERATIONS

*Punching is a forming process that uses a punch press to force a tool, called a punch, through the workpiece to create a hole via shearing. The punch often passes through the work into a die. A scrap slug from the hole is deposited into the die in the process.

*Drawing is a metalworking process which uses tensile forces to stretch metal or glass. As the metal is drawn (pulled), it stretches thinner, into a desired shape and thickness The specific definition for sheet metal drawing is that it involves plastic deformation over a curved axis. Drawing is usually done at room temperature, thus classified as a cold working process, however it may be performed at elevated temperatures to hot work large wires, rods or hollow sections in order to reduce forces.

NOTE: Drawing differs from rolling in that the pressure of drawing is not transmitted through the turning action of the mill but instead depends on force applied locally near the area of compression. This means the amount of possible drawing force is limited by the tensile strength of the material, a fact that is particularly evident when drawing thin wires.

*Bending is the process of deforming a base material through pressure from a die

*Blanking is a way of cutting flat material by trimming it from its exterior edge. ...

*Broaching. A broaching die can be a useful option for shaping material that is too thick or hard to be cut by other means.

*Bulging.
