Press Tool Design or Sheetmetal Die design (NX)
A complete, industry-focused press tool and sheet-metal die design course built in Siemens NX. Starting from software setup and tool-design fundamentals, it works through piercing, punching, blanking, drawing, bending and compound tools, then advances to full strip-layout and progressive die design using both manual and Progressive Wizard methods across multiple real case studies.

Tool Design Engineer, Faridabad
I took the Press Tool & Sheet Metal Die Design course when I was stuck with Progressive Wizard at work. The strip-layout examples finally made it click, and I can now build the die base without asking someone for every step.

Diploma in Tool & Die Making
Started with zero NX knowledge. Abhijit sir explains every calculation (cutting force, punch and die clearance) before jumping into modelling. The manufactured images and assembly files helped me understand what actually happens in the toolroom.

I was a VMC programmer and wanted to shift to design. Compound tool and blanking die lectures are very detailed. Got a design role in a stamping company three months after finishing. Totally worth the fees.

The strip layout design and side cam die lectures are exactly like industry projects. Every doubt I posted on WhatsApp was cleared within a day. Very practical and no time wasting.

The Press Tool course is easy to follow and the PDFs are useful when I need to check something later. I did wish the first compound-tool videos were a little longer, but the progressive-die part is strong.

Used this for my project on progressive die design and it made the theory click. The cutting force formula lectures and material sheets saved me weeks of research. Highly recommend for students.

Even with 10 years in toolroom I learned new NX workflows here. The in-house quotation and BOM lectures are something no other course teaches. Great for anyone moving from AutoCAD to NX.

Very structured: piercing, punching, blanking, drawing, bending, then full progressive. Each with practical files. The wire cut drawing lecture at the end was a nice touch for manufacturing.

Solid value for money. Lifetime access means I keep going back to the side cam and lamp tool cases whenever I get a similar job. Support is genuinely helpful.
