Purpose-Built Dies for Thin Materials and Critical Applications.
Matched metal dies—also known as punch and die sets—enable ultra-precise cutting of thin metallic and non-metallic materials. By aligning a precisely machined male and female tool component, they provide clean cuts with extreme repeatability—ideal for intricate parts and delicate materials.
Die Technology specializes in matched metal blanking dies engineered for material thicknesses as thin as 0.0005”. We’re trusted by engineers and toolroom managers in the medical, energy and defense, and electronics industries to provide long-running tools that minimize maintenance and maximize part quality. Our high-precision dies are designed for integration into automation cells, delivering performance across millions of cycles—no compromise.
Matched metal dies are high-precision cutting tools made from two complementary components—a male punch and a female die cavity. These components are machined to extremely tight tolerances, allowing material to be sheared between them. The result: smooth, clean cuts with minimal deformation or burrs.
If you’ve ever used a hole punch on paper, you’ve experienced a basic version of this concept. Now scale that up to industrial precision—cutting foil, film, or tiny metal components at micron-level accuracy, often in automated production environments. Matched metal dies are essential for producing consistent parts in sensitive or regulated industries, especially when working with ultra-thin stock.
At Die Technology, we manufacture matched metal dies with cutting clearances as tight as 0.00008″ per side, ensuring precise cuts in materials down to 0.0005″ thick. Our team uses high-end SolidWorks modeling with LogoPress and state-of-the-art wire EDM and contour jig grinding to produce dies. This ensures not only consistency in the initial build—but also in future replacement components.
We build dies from carbide, tool steel, powder metals, and ceramics, all chosen for durability and performance in high-speed or continuous operations. Customers have documented part runs of over 15 million hits between sharpening—a testament to our die quality, design strategy, and focus on repeatability.
We handle every step of the process in-house:
Whether you’re cutting foil, film, lead frames, or micro components, Die Technology ensures your die is purpose-built for reliability and output.
