Design & Manufacture of Press Tools

  • STL 3D design with SolidWorks & Logopress giving manufacture and development maximum efficiencies.

  • STL’s Toolmaking supports the product ranges with the highest levels of precision and minimal delays.

  • Also design and manufacture customers “tool-only” requirements, fully tested, approved ready to go.

Design & Manufacture of Press Tools

With our in-house design and Toolroom facility, STL can support our product ranges with the highest levels of precision and tool efficiency possible.

While focused on supporting in-house presswork, customers may also be able to work with us to design and manufacture their “tool-only” requirements. Please contact us for further information.

Our experienced team of Toolmakers backed by our extensive apprenticeship scheme specialise in the design and manufacture of press tools for precision presswork requirements.

Involving STL within the design phase means that you will benefit from STL’s vast experience producing electrical contacts from bimetals and other high conductivity materials along with stainless and other harder materials.

 

  • We can suggest the most effective and consistent way of producing your desired component post sampling within mass manufacture.
  • STL also adds value with the design for manufacture improvements implemented at those earlier stages both for function and AA assembly needs.
  • Utilising the in-house capabilities plus specialist knowledge of an experienced stamper such as STL will also help you to achieve tight tolerances and re-producibility.
  • By using prototyping to mimic production techniques instead of full progressive stamping tooling, STL are also able to produce samples utilising wire EDM in addition to forming and bending techniques with standard tooling.
  • This allows for early-stage production and verifying bend development. Customer development changes can also easily be accommodated without the usual delay in changing progressive dies.
  • When volume is needed the roll out into a mass production tooling is considerably shortened with the development already known and debugging already achieved.
