Tooling

High Quality Tool & Die Builds

AmeriStar has produced high quality stamping dies for more than 100 years. Experienced and skilled tool and die personnel and design engineers can exceed all your tooling needs. Our in-house facility (equipment) provides shorter production time while maintaining the highest quality possible - saving our customer’s time and money.

Cost Effective Tool & Die Making

Technology has changed the way our tool and die personnel perform their jobs. We use computer-aided design (CAD) to develop products and parts. Specifications entered into computer programs are used to electronically develop drawings for the required tools and dies. Our numerical tool and process control programmers use computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) programs to convert electronic drawings into computer programs that contain instructions for a sequence of cutting tool operations. Once these programs are developed, computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines follow the set of instructions contained in the program to produce the part. CNC programs are stored electronically for future use, saving time and increasing our productivity.
