Progressive Die Tooling
Class-A Progressive Die Tooling
There are many ways to make a progressive die. As a high-volume stamper, Vantedge Medical builds the most robust tools possible. Also vertically integrated, our progressive dies are all built internally; we even machine our own die sets. Quality is engineered into our tools from end to end.
It drives:

Tooling of the highest quality and precision
Every die is built to your exact specifications and can be produced as small as 3” x 3” to as large as 60” x 30”.
-
Fully equipped tool room.
Our state-of-the-art tool room is staffed with a diverse team, working two shifts, and equipped with the latest ultra-precision wire EDM and 5-axis high-speed machining centers with spindle speeds in excess of 50,000 RPM.
-
High-tech design process.
We utilize cutting-edge 3-D modeling software and can import a wide variety of file formats (including IDES, .dwg and .dxf) to speed your die through design.
-
Seamless transfer from design to production.
Our design software is linked to production equipment in our tool room for seamless wire EDM and CNC machine programming—resulting in error-free manufacturing of your dies.
-
Intricate shapes.
With a magnification range from 20-to-1 to 100-to-1, our optical grinders can create intricate shapes for tools as well as for custom-designed rolls, utilized in shaping wire and rolled metal strip stock. We maintain this old-school technology and expertise because it makes perfect sense for some applications.
-
Complex parts.
Essential for fabricating the most complex tooling, our wire EDM machines are continually upgraded to the latest generation precision technology. We use a wide range of wire diameters from .004” to .010”—and when combined with our on-floor programming, can run 24/7.
