Selecting Materials and Part Layouts

When creating parts that do not require extremely tight tolerances, steel rule die cutting is one of the most cost-effective methods for producing die cut parts. Creating a steel rule die cost significantly less than matched metal dies or solid milled dies. Multiple factors go into the accuracy of a steel rule dies function, which includes the die’s features, how it is produced, and the material being used. All engineers must follow some basic design guidelines as to make the most of the steel rule die cutting process.

By adhering to best practices, it is possible to minimize risk associated with manufacturing and issues that will affect final-part quality. Our talented team of engineers will closely work with you from scratch to create perfectly plastic die cut parts.

One of the most important considerations to be made is the type of sheet or web material that is used for custom die cutting. Different materials and sizes of the elements pose different problems with cutting, and those issues must be dealt with prior production. Our team can help you mitigate slugs sticking to dies because of adhesive backing.
