For low to medium-volume production runs, prototype development, or cost-sensitive projects, single stage dies and compound dies offer the most economical tooling solution. At Orienson, we specialize in designing and manufacturing precision simple press tools that deliver high-quality stamped parts without the complexity and cost of progressive dies. Whether you need a single station press tool for basic blanking or a compound die that combines multiple operations in one stroke, our engineering team provides optimized solutions for your specific requirements.
OEM Compound Die Stamping Factory
A single die can be divided into punching die, bending die, drawing die, plunging die, and integral die. Single die structure is simple with low cost, short processing cycle, easy to adjust. It is suitable for the simple structure product with small order amounts.
Rapid Tooling: Single dies in 2-4 weeks vs. 6-8 weeks for complex progressive dies
Cost-Effective: Tooling costs 40-60% lower than multi-stage progressive tooling
Flexibility: Easy to modify and maintain for design changes
Ideal Applications: Prototypes, low-volume production (100-50,000 pieces), simple geometries
Material Expertise: Carbon tool steel, D2, A2, and custom material selection

Single Die Design
Single die structure is simple, easy to manufacture. To those metal stamping parts that need high accuracy and blanking quality requirements, manufacturing precision and service life of the single die become bottlenecks to affect the yield and quality.
In our production practice, Orienson has rich experience in reducing tooling costs, shortening the mold production cycle, and improving the production efficiency of stamping parts. We can help customers solve these bottlenecks.
What Are The Materials Used To Make single mould？
The materials of stamping die are steel, hard alloy, steel bonded carbide, zinc base alloy, low melting point alloy, aluminum bronze, high polymer materials, and so on. Most of the materials used to manufacture stamping die are mainly steel. The common types of working parts materials of mold are carbon tool steel, low alloy tool steel, high carbon high chromium or medium chromium tool steel, carbon alloy steel, high-speed steel, matrix steel and hard alloy, steel-bonded hard alloy, and so on.
