Method of producing press-forming punch and die
An economical method of producing a press-forming die is disclosed wherein a master die and a master punch are relatively reciprocated to produce a press-formed panel. A working surface of the master die is cut down by a predetermined cutting depth, and the press-formed panel is fitted over the master punch. While a second blank sheet having a thickness equal to the cutting depth of the master die working surface is placed between the master die and the press-formed panel fitted over the master punch, the master die and punch are relatively reciprocated whereby the second blank sheet is press-formed into a die panel. A back-up material such as high-strength cement is then applied to the rear surface of the die panel whereby a press-forming die is produced. A method of producing a press-forming punch is also disclosed.
