Executive Program Overview

Tool and Die design is a high-demand mechanical specialization. Learn the complete tool lifecycle: calculating shrinkage, draft angle analysis, parting line split, runner/gate feeding systems, cooling circuits, and progressive stamping strip layouts.

Key Learning Outcomes

• Core, cavity, and side-action slider splits for complex automotive trim plastics.
• Mold base standard libraries: DME, Hasco, and custom ejector pin arrangements.
• Progressive die strip layout: Piercing, notching, bending, and blanking operations.
• Die clearance calculation, tonnage estimation, and spring punch selection.
