Progressive die tooling is used in progressive stamping, a highly efficient metal-forming process for rapid manufacturing. With progressive die tooling, all of the necessary dies are combined into one die set and installed into a single press machine. This tooling method can create highly complex and precise designs at fast production rates.
Automated operations with progressive die tooling are excellent for high-volume stamping projects. PrecisionX Group uses in-house tooling and stamping equipment to produce precision metal components designed to your specifications.

What is Progressive Die Tooling?
Progressive die tooling, or prog die tooling, is used for progressive stamping projects and is a popular metal-forming process for custom components. In progressive die stamping , all the tooling needed for an individual project is compiled into a single die set. The die set is inserted into one press machine, where all operations will occur.
During production, a metal strip is pulled “progressively” through the press and stamped by each tool in the die set. With each stroke, the metal is stamped at each operation in the series. The final operation cuts the completed components off of the metal strip and ejects them from the machine.
Because all the necessary tooling is included in one press, the die set does not need to be changed between each operation. This significantly increases production rates, making progressive die stamping tooling an excellent solution for high-volume stamping projects.
What is Progressive Die Tooling?
Although progressive die tooling has a higher tooling cost than other custom tooling methods, automated operations mean that the per-part expenses are much lower. Simultaneous stamping in one press results in rapid production rates and reliable performance. This makes progressive die tooling an excellent process for high-volume stamping projects of over 50,000 units per year.
