Key Responsibilities

A. Press Part Design and
Feasibility

• Study
customer drawings, 3D data, specifications, material grades, thickness,
and GD&T; requirements.

• Develop
3D models and 2D drawings of sheet metal press components.

• Conduct
part feasibility and DFM (Design for Manufacturing) analysis.

• Evaluate
blank development, flat patterns, forming feasibility, bend allowances,
springback, and material utilization.

• Identify
potential risks related to wrinkles, cracks, distortion, dimensional
variation, and formability.

• Review
critical dimensions and coordinate with customers and internal teams for
design clarifications.

• Incorporate
engineering changes and maintain drawing revision control.

B. Press Tool Design

• Design
and develop press tools for blanking, piercing, bending, forming, drawing,
and trimming operations.

• Design
progressive, compound, and single-operation tools; tandem or transfer
tools where applicable.

• Prepare
strip layouts, station sequencing, blank layouts, and material utilization
calculations.

• Design




complete tool assemblies, including punches, dies, stripper plates, punch
plates, die plates, backing plates, and guide systems.

• Calculate
and verify punch-die clearance, cutting force, press tonnage, shut height,
stroke, and relevant tooling parameters.

• Select
suitable tool steels, standard components, springs, guide pillars, bushes,
and other tooling elements.

• Prepare
3D tool assemblies, 2D manufacturing drawings, assembly drawings, and
bills of materials (BOMs).

• Ensure
tool designs meet requirements for manufacturability, rigidity, safety,
maintenance, and tool life.

C. CAD Modeling and
Documentation

• Prepare
accurate 3D models, 2D drawings, and detailed component drawings using
CATIA V5, Siemens NX, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or equivalent software.

• Maintain
design standards, drawing formats, BOMs, and engineering documentation.

• Conduct
design reviews and verify interfaces, clearances, and assembly feasib
