Progressive Die Design and Development Using AutoCAD

From the past three decades, the manufacturing context always in the motion to improve the plant efficiency and efficacy. With the objective of improving the production capacity in no’s of part produced, most of the sheet metal industries are now using progressive dies. Still there is the consequence among the sheet metal industries regarding the design and development of the progressive die. The present paper reveals the progressive die design with the help of AutoCAD software which is in general the 2-D drafting tool. In addition, the various components of progressive die along with their specification, and the general mathematical calculations give the better understanding to audience about the die design and development process.
