LCC Die Building
To further serve our customers in today’s global economy, STM is working with companies in China and to offer very
competitive global tooling pricing.
Dies are designed domestically using our customer standards. The designs are then sent to our chosen build source in
China for manufacturing. Try-out and Run-off in China will commence with our U.S representative present and prior to
shipment of the tool to the U.S., where an in-depth inspection will occur to guarantee the tool(s) meet all standards as
specified. Final Try-out, Part Inspection and Run-off will take place at our facility in Holland, MI.
With domestic design and our experience to follow through with the project until our customer satisfaction is
accomplished, STM outsource management is the best choice for U.S. manufactures.
Domestic Die Design & Engineering
Our Engineering team utilizes Solid Edge and Unigraphics
3D-Solid Design software in an effort to reduce build time
and thus allowing for expedient delivery of the final
product.
With ten high-end C.A.D station terminals
and arguably the most qualified engineers
around operating them, STM can create a
solution for your product needs.
Our parametric design
software allows for fast
modifications and
subsequently quicker
tooling turn-around times.
Simulation Software
STM uses AutoForm simulation software to
save time by avoiding the repetitive trial and
error cycle before the die is engineered. We
evaluate the formability of a products design
during the initial estimating and design
concept stages, thus developing a sound
forming process and prior to material being
machined.
Special Automation Machines
STM had been in the business of designing and building special machines for over twenty-five years and within multiple
industries.
