I. INTRODUCTION
Mass production always pointing towards increasing
quality and productivity. Press working also called stamping
or sheet stamping is a cold working process happening in
below recrystallization temperature. Press working operations
are important operation of converting raw material in to a
finished product. Press tool are mechanical devices used for
producing sheet metal component in large volume Press
working processes are carried out on working material in the
form of sheet. Metal having thickness less than 6mm is called
strip. Metal having thickness greater than 6mm is called plate
This work focus on designing two separate open tools used
for cylindrical cup formation. Step by step designing
