In-House Tool & Die Shop: Reducing Lead Times

Most metal stamping competitors outsource their die fabrication to third-party shops or overseas manufacturers in China — adding weeks to your project timeline and reducing your control over quality.

DureX designs, builds, and maintains all stamping dies entirely in-house at our Union, NJ facility. This is one of our most significant competitive advantages:

  • Faster turnaround: No waiting on outside toolmakers.
  • Tighter tolerances: Our toolmakers work alongside our press operators daily.
  • Lower long-term costs: In-house maintenance extends die life and reduces scrap rates.
  • Rapid response: Die repairs and modifications are handled on-site, minimizing downtime.

Our toolroom is equipped to construct progressive dies, deep draw dies, compound dies, and custom fixtures — all under one roof. Setup supervisors in our Press Department average over 25 years of experience at DureX, ensuring that every die is set, maintained, and optimized by people who know our equipment inside and out.

Metal Stamping Services We Provide

DureX offers a comprehensive range of stamping processes. Each service page below contains full technical details, tolerances, and application examples.

Progressive Die Stamping

Ideal for high-volume production of complex parts. Material is continuously fed through a series of dies in a single pass, creating intricate shapes with precision and consistency. Our progressive die capabilities handle material from .005″ to .312″ thick, with press forces up to 400 tons.

Best for: Connectors, brackets, clips, terminals, and components requiring multiple features stamped in one operation.

Deep Draw Stamping

Used to form deep, cup-shaped or hollow parts with precise dimensional accuracy. Our deep draw process maintains structural integrity for challenging geometries demanded by the automotive, aerospace, and electronics industries.

Best for: Housings, canisters, caps, cylinders, and complex enclosures. [→ See Deep Draw Stamping page for full specs]

Secondary Operations

Beyond primary stamping, DureX offers integrated secondary operations that eliminate the need for outside vendors:

  • Wire Forming
  • Shell Trimming
  • Double Action Pressing
  • Tapping, Welding, and Assembly

By consolidating stamping and secondary operations under one roof, we reduce handling, shorten lead times, and give you a true single-source manufacturing partner.

The Stamping Process: Progressive Die Strip

A progressive die strip shows the raw material as it advances through each station of the die — blanking, forming, piercing, and trimming — until the finished component is separated from the strip. It is the clearest demonstration of stamping precision and die engineering quality.

Industry Applications

DureX’s metal stamping services are trusted across demanding industries:

  • Automotive — Precision brackets, clips, and structural components meeting OEM specifications.
  • Electronics — Fine-pitch connectors, housings, and contacts with tight tolerances.
  • Aerospace — High-integrity parts meeting rigorous dimensional and material standards.
  • Medical — Clean-room compatible components with traceability and documentation.
  • Construction & Consumer Goods — High-volume, cost-efficient production runs.

Quality Assurance: ISO 9001:2015 Certified

Quality at DureX is embedded at every stage of the stamping process — not added at the end. Our ISO 9001:2015 certification reflects a documented quality management system that governs everything from die setup to final part inspection.

Key quality controls include:

  • First-article inspection for every new die setup.
  • In-process dimensional checks against exact print specifications.
  • In-house toolmakers who maintain and fine-tune dies continuously.
  • Electronic die safety controls that prevent mis-hits and protect tooling.
  • Full traceability and documentation available on request.

Engineering Support & Design for Manufacturability

DureX engineers engage at the earliest stage of your project. We review your CAD files for design-for-manufacturability (DFM) issues before a die is ever cut — identifying potential problems with material flow, tolerances, or formability that would otherwise become costly mid-production.

  • DFM Review: Catch issues before tooling is committed.
  • Simulation & Analysis: Predict stress points, springback, and material behavior.
  • Rapid Prototyping: Validate designs before full-scale production.
  • Collaboration: Our engineers work alongside your team throughout the project.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can DureX stamp?

We process a wide range of metals, including 304 Stainless Steel, 6061 Aluminum, Cold-Rolled Steel, High-Strength Low-Alloy (HSLA) steel, Copper, Brass, and more. Material thickness ranges from .005″ to .312″.

What are your lead times?

Lead times vary by project complexity and volume. Because DureX builds and maintains all dies in-house, we eliminate the typical weeks-long wait for outside toolmakers. Contact us with your project details for an accurate timeline.

Do you offer prototyping?

Yes. We offer prototyping services to validate your design before committing to full production tooling. Our engineers will review your CAD files and advise on the fastest path to a prototype.

Can you support Just-In-Time (JIT) delivery?

Yes. We utilize dedicated presses and work cells to minimize handling and support JIT delivery schedules. Our location — 20 minutes from Newark Port and Airport — makes logistics planning straightforward for regional and national customers alike.
