There is a vast range of various tools and equipments that are required in manufacturing industries as compulsory instruments. Without usage of such tools and equipments the functioning of manufacturing industries can not be accomplished. In the manufacturing sector where metal based goods are manufactured, a set of tools that are used in cutting and shaping of material is required. These tools are of different types and they function as per their specifications. Nowadays the addition of modern technology to the engineering and manufacturing of such tools has raised the level of their performance in the industry.

There are various techniques and ways of shaping up the material in various manufacturing industries. Pressing in the most common technique under which a machine tool named as machine-press is used to change the shape of material. Die is one such kind of industrial tool that is used in cutting and shaping up the material via the use of pressing technique. Die is a specialized tool and it is generally customized as per the specific requirement. The application of dies in cutting manufacturing material and shaping it up ranges from simple paper clips to complex pieces used in advanced technology based productions.

The dies available in market are divided into various categories as per their usage and application in diverse manufacturing sectors. The vast range of material cutting dies comprises of Cutting Dies, Embossing Dies, Phenolic Counter Dies, Steel Counter Dies and Stripping Dies. The application of these different kinds of tools is different in various areas. In fact with the advancement in technology the computerized material cutting and shaping tools, the performance of such tools has increased in terms of quality and speed.

The advanced technology based dies have various positive features and advantage that mainly include, better work holding, accurate cutting and shaping up of material, less chances of distortion in the work piece. Apart from these dies and other cutting and pressing tools, laser material cutting tool has also grabbed the attention of manufacturing firms. The laser technology based cutting tools offer cutting and shaping of material via laser beams, that is comparatively fast and accurate process. Though it requires a lot of energy for operation, this can be termed as its only drawback.

Hence looking at the major requirements of material shaping and cutting tools in the manufacturing industries the market for these tools has got strengthened and various material cutting and shaping solution providers are adding high standard engineering goods to the marketplace in order to meet the high demand scenario of the market.
