Dear specialist friends, I hope you can help me on this topic.
Although being a Mech. Engineer, I've never looked deep on forming and stamping technology. I just acquired recently for my workshop an old eccentric stamp press (120 punches/minute) and I am looking forward to produce some parts.
However, since I have my own CNC and proper software, I am not willing to spend money requesting a new mold. Therefore I would like to ask you guys some hints on how would be the best mold architecture for this specific part (picture attached), numbers of steps, materials to use, and so on. Any hints are welcome, as I am practically starting to re-learn it from zero.
The part is made from any suitable stainless steel sheet and has 1mm thickness, outside diameter 136mm and inside diameter 100mm. About 10000 parts/year.
Thank you in advance!
