I need a complete progressive die designed to produce a stainless-steel 304 part for a prototype run. The goal is to have every operation—blanking, bending, drawing, and any other required forming—integrated into a single die so that the finished piece comes off the press in one hit. You will work from my dimensional drawing of the part (supplied after award) and deliver: • 3D CAD model of the entire die set • 2D fully-dimensioned manufacturing drawings for each plate, punch, and insert • Strip layout showing material utilization and station-by-station progression • Exploded view or assembly instructions that clarify build order and critical tolerances Preferred tools are SolidWorks, NX, or CATIA, but I’m open to other industry-standard platforms as long as you can provide STEP and DXF outputs. Please design for a standard 80-ton mechanical press; list any press-specific requirements if they differ. Acceptance criteria 1. The strip layout must keep burr direction consistent and material waste below 15 %. 2. All forming radii must meet SS304 minimum bend guidelines to avoid cracking. 3. Hole and feature positions must hold ±0.05 mm in the simulation or calculated tolerance stack. 4. All files open error-free in the stated CAD package and in neutral formats. If you have recent examples of similar prototype progressive dies, send screenshots or brief descriptions with your bid so I can gauge fit.

As an experienced and well-rounded CAD designer specializing in mechanical and product design, I believe I bring the ideal skillset to create a prototype progressive die that meets your requirements. My background covers the whole gamut from 2D drafting to 3D modeling, with fluency in SolidWorks, CATIA, and other industry-preferred platforms. Importantly, I am adept at delivering precise and accurate manufacturing drawings, addressing your need for fully-dimensioned plans. Your project's complex nature demands foresight and meticulousness to integrate all the operations coherently into a single die. This is where my expertise comes into play; I have successfully designed similar progressive dies before, using strip layouts that minimize material waste, maintain consistent burr direction, and comply with bending guidelines without compromising quality or efficiency. Additionally, keeping sharp eye on tolerances stack calculations, your fourth acceptance criterion won't be an issue.
