Application of additive technologies in the preparation of sheet stamping production

The features of sheet stamping production are discussed. The technology is characterized by the speed and stability of the manufacturing process of parts with high shape repeatability, and therefore it is widely used in mass production. Due to the appearance of a large number of experimental design works, sheet stamping is increasingly used for the manufacture of small series of products. The duration of the technological preparation of production exceeds the duration of the stamping process itself, which necessitates the use of methods to increase production efficiency, reduce time and financial costs, as well as one of the most important indicators of competitive stamping production is its flexibility - the speed of changeover. The use of modern additive technologies is supposed to bring the changeover speed of stamping equipment to a new level. An overview of publications on the assessment of the possibility of using additive technologies in the manufacture of screw tooling is presented, as well as an analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of using tooling.
