REIMAGINING THE FUTURE OF METAL BLANKING ◆

Blanking Without Dies uses coil fed metal technology, high power fiber lasers, linear motor propulsion and a moving gantry assembly to produce laser cut blanks. With technologically superior methods, BWD is revolutionizing the metal blanking industry by replacing conventional dies with innovative solutions tailored for the auto industry.

This is the future of metal blanking which will eliminate costly mechanical dies, provide more design flexibility and deliver superior metal blanks.
