Custom Stamping Dies & Tooling for Sheet Metal Prototyping – China Manufacturer

Before high-volume stamping can begin, precision tooling lays the foundation for quality, efficiency, and cost control. As a custom stamping dies manufacturer based in China, Ocean Century specializes in designing and fabricating high-performance stamping tooling for both sheet metal prototyping and full-scale production.

With 26+ years of experience and in-house mold-making capabilities, we deliver dies that consistently achieve 300,000 to 500,000 strokes with maintenance. Whether you need a single-stage die for a prototype run or a complex progressive die for high-volume manufacturing, our engineering team provides end-to-end support.

Why Choose Ocean Century for Your Stamping Tooling?

• Complete In-House Die Manufacturing: From design and CNC machining to heat treatment and assembly. This ensures faster lead times, tighter quality control, and seamless communication throughout the project.
• Expertise Across Die Types: We design and build progressive dies, transfer dies, compound dies, and single-stage dies tailored to your part geometry, material, and volume requirements.
• Prototyping to Production Continuity: Unlike tooling shops that only make dies, we also operate 202 stamping presses (45T to 630T) . This means we can test and refine your tooling in-house, then seamlessly transition to mass production without requalifying a separate supplier.
• DFM-Optimized Tooling: Our engineering team performs Design for Manufacturability (DFM) analysis to optimize your part design for stamping efficiency, material utilization, and die longevity.

Our Tooling Capabilities:

• Die Materials: High-grade tool steel (D2, A2, SKD11, etc.) with precision heat treatment for extended lifespan.
• Die Sizes: Customized to accommodate parts ranging from small electronic brackets to large automotive structural components.
• Lead Time: Typical die fabrication lead time of 25-35 days, with regular photo/video progress updates.
• Tolerances: Maintain tight tolerances with in-process CNC verification and final CMM inspection.

Your Tooling Project Workflow:

1. Share Your Part Design: Provide 2D/3D drawings (STEP, DXF, PDF) or physical samples.
2. Feasibility & DFM Review: Our engineers evaluate the design and propose the optimal die configuration.
3. Quote & Timeline: Receive a detailed quotation and production schedule within 24 work hours.
4. Die Fabrication & Tryout: In-house manufacturing followed by T0 sample runs for validation.
5. Production Launch: Seamless transition to mass stamping in our automated facilities.
