Paperless Die Design and Development at Ford’s Dearborn Tool & Die plant
 
Dies are getting bigger and more complex at Ford Motor Co.’s Dearborn Tool & Die plant in Dearborn, MI. Also development time — from design through first-part-to-gauge — is shorter than ever. The firm’s huge investment over the last several years in big Schuler presses allows it to run large stampings two-out, such as hood inner and outer side-by-side in one die. Plus, it’s increased use of engineered draw beads helps to minimise blank size and reduce scrap, critical cost savers for the big consumer of steel.
