PTM can take your 3-D part model and create a die (single operation or progressive) or set of dies to produce a close tolerance part. Through years of experience in automotive interior trim dies, we have developed the ability to meet stringent aesthetic requirements.
PTM has produced molds for parts ranging from gaming dice to computer plugs to consumer make-up packaging. We can design and build molds to produce your part efficiently and effectively.
PTM has built a wide variety of fixtures and gages for many different industries. Would a custom built tool improve your productivity? Contact us to make your idea a reality.
Is your mold or die no longer performing to specifications? Has the part design changed? Whether it needs a minor tweak or a major overhaul, PTM can get your tool performing properly again. We offer in-house repair welding and heat treating. We can work with short turn arounds during production shutdowns if needed.
PTM uses innovative software, hardware, and machines to produce the tools for premium product production.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Stamping dies: PTM designs and manufactures stamping dies for thin metals including aluminum, stainless steel, carbonite, and carbon steel in thickness ranges from 0.005" to 0.125". We are especially known for automotive interior trim dies, which have complex geometries and difficult draw specifications. We make both single hit and progressive dies. With respect to single hit dies, we frequently make die packages, a series of 2 to 10 single hit dies used in sequence to make a single finished part.
