Die-Making

The Company employs a state of the art in-house die shop, using EDM and CNC equipment, to complement conventional machine tools.

Cal-Amforge has complete capability to produce and maintain all forging tooling in-house.  State-of-the-art portable CMM with laser scanner is utilized to confirm dimensional conformance of each piece of tooling that is produced or refurbished.

Extensive use is made of cassettes and die sets, in order to reduce the amount of time it takes to set up new jobs and thereby significantly reduce press downtime between jobs.
