Deep Draw Technology Boot Camp

Tuesday, November 5, 2024 - Thursday, November 7, 2024
Cleveland, OH & Virtual

This is an intensive three-day engineering and design event for tool and die makers, die designers, tooling engineers and apprentices.

Day 1: Attendees will learn the historical background of deep drawing including commonly accepted—but often misapplied—rules-of-thumb. The characteristics of deep drawing, shallow drawing, redrawing, reverse drawing, stretching and ironing are covered in-depth along with the influence that bending, straightening, friction, compression and tension have on each process.

Day 2: In a step-by-step approach, attendees will process a theoretical request for quote (RFQ) for a cylindrical part that includes estimating the number of draws and the blank size; calculate the required press-stroke length, tonnage and energy requirements; then select an appropriate press and determine the strokes-per-minute for the job.
Multiple methods are presented for calculating draw reduction limits and balancing draw reduction ratios; selecting punch nose profiles for drawing and redrawing; estimating blankholder forces; and selecting pressure systems. Progressive die applications and solving draw-related problems also are reviewed.

Day 3: Attendees will understand how to determine the number of draws and intermediate draw shapes for square and rectangular parts and blank shape development methods. Also presented: design principles for drawing irregular shapes and developing addendum; blankholder shape, draw bead design options and draw bead placement; and guidelines for drawing stainless steel alloys, aluminum alloys and copper alloys.

INSTRUCTORS

Peter Ulintz, PMA Technical Consultant, Pace Technologies, LLC
Peter Ulintz worked in the metal stamping and tool and die industries for 37 years prior to serving as PMA’s technical director from July 2015 to May 2024. His background includes tool and die making, die processing and design, engineering management, and product development. Peter now is an industry consultant, training metalforming industry employees at PMA technical seminars and conferences, in addition to providing in-plant training. He is past president of the North American Deep Drawing Research Group, and authors the Tooling by Design column in MetalForming magazine.

Manuel Resendes, Engineering/Toolroom Manager, Larson Tool and Stamping Co.
Manny started his manufacturing journey at the age of 14 and now has more than 30 years of hands-on manufacturing experience. Manny graduated from a four-year vocational trade school (Machine Shop), advancing his career as a Certified Massachusetts Toolmaker, CNC programmer, stamping and deep draw design engineer, systems and special project engineer and NPI manufacturing engineer. He’s held a certification as a Black Belt in Six Sigma since 2008. Now in his 40s, Manny’s journey in the industry has included working for manufacturers such GE Aviation, Rolls-Royce Naval Marine, Clearmotion, Inc (Boston MIT Graduate Startup), and Larson Tool and Stamping Co. This depth of hands-on exposure to different company cultures across different continents, operations, value streams, automation and project management allows an in-depth understanding into best practices within design for manufacturing, whether you need one part or millions in volume.
