Try this method to effectively reduce the cost of metal stamping dies

For a metal stamping factory or stamping die factory, in order to survive and get more profits, we need to control the cost of molds. This includes template materials, heat treatment costs, processing costs, mold trial costs, machine tool wear costs, labor costs, and so on. To be able to control costs reasonably, to a certain extent, increase the company's profits. For example, if a set of molds requires a total production capacity of 50,000, which of the three types of springs we choose to compress is 50,000 times, 100,000 times, and 500,000 times? You must choose 100,000 times, so you can get it done once, without replacing it. As for why you don’t choose 50,000 times, let’s think about it for yourself. As a qualified metal stamping die designer, we have to consider many aspects such as processing cost, material utilization rate, and die material. For example, there are many punch materials. In theory, we choose the more expensive the better, but if the quantity is small, choosing expensive materials will waste the cost. Or, if the mold volume is not large, but the punch is relatively weak, we should choose good materials to save the time for debugging the mold. After talking so much, maybe many friends will ask the author, as if there is no specific explanation on how to save or control the cost. Here the author can only say sorry, because each company's situation is different, and our requirements for molds are also different. Yes, but one thing will not change. That is to consider according to the purpose, taking into account: template materials, heat treatment costs, processing costs, trial mold costs, machine tool wear costs, labor costs, and so on. Our cost control is often linked to the quotation. Today, I told you about the theoretical method of cost control. Later, the author will give you a practical analysis of the direct relationship between mold quotation and cost control, and the skills of how to quote the mold.
