Upcoming Seminar: Deep Draw Technology Boot Camp
August 9-11, PMA Headquarters, Inde- pendence, OH; also Virtual
An intensive three-day engineering and design event for tool and die makers, die designers, tooling engineers and apprentices, the Deep Draw Technology Boot Camp will be led by Pete Ulintz, PMA technical director and author of the Tooling By Design column in MetalForming magazine.
The seminar offers a history of the deep drawing process and its basic tenets. Attendees also will develop a theoretical request for quote and learn design prin- ciples. Here’s a day-by-day breakdown:
Day 1: Receive a historical background of the deep drawing process, including commonly accepted—but often misap- plied—rules-of-thumb. Learn in-depth the characteristics of deep drawing, shallow
drawing, redrawing, reverse drawing, stretch- ing and ironing, along with the influence that bending, straightening, friction, com- pression and tension have on each process.
Day 2: In a step-by-step approach, process a theoretical request for quote for a cylindrical part that includes estimating the number of draws and the blank size; calculating the required press-stroke length, tonnage and energy requirements; and selecting an appropriate press and determining the needed strokes/min. for the job.
Ulintz will present multiple methods for calculating draw-reduction limits and bal- ancing draw-reduction ratios; selecting punch-nose profiles for drawing and redraw- ing; estimating blankholder forces; and selecting pressure systems. He’ll also review progressive-die applications and methods
for solving draw-related problems.
Day 3: Learn how to determine the number of draws and the intermediate draw shapes for square and rectangular parts, and blank-shape-development meth- ods. Also to be presented: design principles for drawing irregular shapes and developing addendum; blankholder shape, draw- bead-design options and draw-bead place- ment; and guidelines for drawing stain-
less-steel, aluminum and copper alloys. Cost for the Deep Draw technology Boot Camp (in-person or virtual) is $499 for PMA members and $699 for nonmembers, with special hotel rates available.

Upcoming Seminar: Designing, Building and Optimizing Progressive Dies
June 22-23, PMA Headquarters, Independence, OH; also Virtual
Led by Pete Ulintz, PMA technical director and author of the Tooling By Design column in MetalForming magazine, this is a two-day engineering and design-focused event developed for tool and die makers, die designers, tooling engineers and apprentices.
Attend to learn the importance of material properties and press-line capacity, and how they impact die design. An evaluation and ranking method for strip design will be proposed, and its effectiveness demonstrated. Ulintz also will review the advantages and disadvantages of common part-carrier designs; assess die-guiding methods to meet alignment needs; and review strip alignment, feeding and positioning methods. And, undertake an analysis of internal die thrusts and how to compensate for them in designing the die.
Also presented at this seminar: best practices for design and cutting clearances; bending theory and springback-compensation techniques; deep drawing principles; and pressure-pad design parameters and selection of a pressure system.
Cost for Designing, Building and Optimizing Progressive Dies (in-person or virtual) is $449 for PMA members and $649 for nonmembers, with special hotel rates available.
