Design for Tool & Die Manufacturing

• • Design for Tool & Die Manufacturing (DfTDM) – is the methodology of incorporating the constraints, capabilities, and considerations of tool and die making when engineering components or systems that rely on stamping, forming, molding, or casting dies.

  • Practically, this means parts and the tools that create them must be designed with manufacturability, durability, precision, and economy in mind—often leading to fundamentally different design choices than those made for other manufacturing methods.
