New Die Design Page

Logopress3 die design software is very useful for all die design including progressive, transfer, fineblank, & draw dies, as well as four slide tooling, etc. It provides an organized system, even between multiple designers for accurate & efficient design that can be virtually mistake-free if all steps are followed. This system has evolved over 30 years of development by listening to and acting on feedback from hundreds of die designers, tool designers and tooling engineers. Many designers find efficiency gains between 30 to 50% and more, in addition to dramatically minimizing development and debug time. At the same time they find their die design experience to be much more rewarding and enjoyable.

Tool Structure

Logopress3™ Die Design Software includes a powerful Tool Structure Assistant that allows you to quickly model the main die components. It is also very useful throughout the entire die design process when you need to insert additional plates or sub-assemblies.

You can very easily and very quickly insert a plate or a sub-assembly and then adjust its dimensions. The plates can be named at this point and material type and heat treatment can also be specified at the time of insertion. It also acts as a Mate Manager so that you don’t have to search the feature tree for mates.

Component and sub-assembly insertion feature dedicated to the die design needs
Customizable plates
Customizable die sets
Automatic mate management
Customizable material database
Customizable heat treat callouts
