Video of how to make cutting dies for reference:
Software: Use CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software to create precise digital templates of the die.
Output: Generate a vector file (e.g., DXF, DWG) compatible with laser cutting machines.
Primary Material: Blade or steel strips (commonly used for durability and sharpness).
Baseboard: Flat or Rotary Plywood.
Machine: Laser Cutting Machine.
Process: Uploading the CAD design to the machine's interface, then the laser machine precisely cuts the plywood based on the design.
Advantages: High accuracy, smooth edges, and minimal material waste.

Machine: Auto Bender Machine (automated CNC bending machine).
Process: Program the machine to bend the blades into complex shapes (e.g., curves, angles) as per the design. Use sensors or guides to ensure consistency.

When the bend of the blade is not in an ideal shape, it must be fixed with a die making manual machine.
Hammer, adhesive, or press-fitting tools.
Steps:
(1)Mount the bent blades onto the pre-cut wood board.
(2)Secure blades using grooves, slots, or adhesive.
(3)Add foam or rubber ejection strips (to assist material release after cutting).
Method: Test the die on target material (e.g., cardboard, leather).
Adjustments: Refine blade height or alignment if cuts are incomplete or uneven.
