Professional Marketing Description
Precision Deep Drawing Starts with the Right Tooling
For automotive components, the quality of a deep-drawn part is strongly connected to the quality and engineering of the forming die.
A deep drawing die must control how the sheet material flows from the blank into the die cavity. If the material flows too freely, wrinkles may develop. If the material is restricted excessively, tearing or excessive thinning can occur.
That is why METS does not treat deep drawing as simply a matter of pressing a sheet into a cavity.
We analyze the material, geometry, draw ratio, forming sequence, blank-holder pressure, die clearance, punch radius, lubrication requirements, trimming allowance, and press specifications before developing the tooling.
For deeper automotive components, multiple drawing stages may be designed to progressively achieve the required geometry while maintaining dimensional stability.
Designed for Automotive Production
Automotive components often require:
Repeatability + Dimensional Accuracy + Stable Forming + Long Tool Life + Efficient Production
METS develops custom deep drawing dies around these requirements.
From the initial drawing review to final tooling delivery, our engineers can support:
Part Analysis -> DFM -> Die Design -> Tool Manufacturing -> Trial Stamping -> Tool Adjustment -> Sample Approval -> Production
The objective is not simply to manufacture a die.

Depending on the component design, tooling can be developed for carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and other sheet metals.
4. What tooling materials do you use?
Common die materials include DC53, D2, SKD11, SKH-9, SKH-51, YG15, and YG20. The final material is selected according to the application, forming load, production volume, and required die life.
5. Can you make a multi-stage deep drawing die?
Yes. For components requiring greater drawing depth or complex geometry, METS can develop multi-stage or progressive deep drawing tooling.
6. Can drawing, trimming and piercing be integrated into one die?
Yes. Depending on the component design and production requirements, drawing, trimming, piercing, bending, and forming operations can be integrated into a customized tooling system. METS has published automotive drawing/trimming/piercing tooling examples.
7. How do you prevent wrinkles during deep drawing?
Wrinkle control depends on the component geometry, material, blank design, die clearance, lubrication, and blank-holder pressure. METS analyzes material flow and forming conditions during tooling development to help reduce wrinkles and other forming defects.
8. Can the die be designed for our existing press machine?
Yes. The tooling can be designed according to the customer's press tonnage, bed dimensions, stroke, shut height, feeding method, and other machine specifications. METS's published FAQ also states that tooling is made according to the customer's press-machine specifications and that the die design is submitted for approval before manufacturing.
9. What tolerance can your tooling achieve?
The achievable tolerance depends on the tooling feature, material, component geometry, and inspection method. METS's published deep-drawing tooling information states precision machining capabilities down to approximately 0.003 mm for suitable tooling features, while specific finished-part tolerances must be confirmed from the customer's drawing.
10. What is the expected die life?
Die life depends on material, thickness, production volume, forming load, tooling material, heat treatment, lubrication, and maintenance. Some METS deep drawing tooling examples specify approximately 500,000 -600,000 shots, while other tooling specifications list longer service-life ranges depending on design and application.
11. Can you provide trial samples before final approval?
Yes. Trial stamping is part of the tooling development process. Samples can be inspected and submitted for customer approval before final tooling delivery.
12. How long does it take to manufacture a custom deep drawing die?
Lead time depends on component complexity, tooling structure, material, number of forming stages, and customer approval schedule. Published METS deep drawing tooling examples indicate delivery periods ranging from approximately 7 -35 days, while more complex automotive tooling may require a longer engineering and manufacturing schedule.
13. Can you manufacture the stamped automotive components after making the die?
Yes. METS integrates tooling design, die manufacturing, precision stamping, deep drawing, and automotive component production, allowing customers to source both tooling and production parts from the same supplier.
14. What files should we send for a quotation?
For the most accurate quotation, please provide:
2D Drawing + 3D CAD File + Material + Thickness + Estimated Quantity + Press Specifications + Required Tolerances
A physical sample can also be provided when available.
