Enterprise Tool & Die

Services and Equipment

We offer a wide range of services to make every type of tool.

Tool Build & Tryout

Our tryout department consists of 5 tryout presses with capacities of 135 up to 800 tons.

Bed sizes range from 40" x 60" to 72" x 160".

Three of the presses are equipped with feeders for continuous-run tryout.

The 800T is equipped with a roll-out bolster for quick die changes.

Here at Enterprise every area of the company is geared to provide immediate services, a quality product and excellent support.

Research & Development

Research and development involving advanced high strength and exotic materials, with focus on federally mandated vehicle and weight reductions.

Our ever evolving knowledge and expertise in tool production directly impacts the success and longevity of the majority of the vehicles you drive and interact with every day!

Custom Simulation & Engineering Services

We deliver the results you want, every step of the way.

Full simulation and design capabilities, with cross functional design teams working toward cost effective, efficient designs.

All of our designs are 100% detailed for convenient maintenance and repair.

VISI is the foundation of our 3D design process.

With VISI, all die sections are built precisely to math data through CNC processes.

We combine VISI with simulation results, a pre-defined 3D parts catalog and standard design parameters.

Parametric modeling and full visual detail in VISI support a thorough design review.

You receive final "as built" design files: a 100% detailed design record for future engineering changes, replacements and repairs.

Our experienced advanced engineers have a solid record of adding significant value by identifying improvement opportunities and isolating critical requirements.

Managing successful projects = On time and within budget!

Involve our engineers early in your program for potential gains in production quality and consistency, reduced material, lower tooling and maintenance costs, and faster lead-times.

Precision Machining & Wire Services

Enterprise currently utilizes 5 CNC centers.

Our largest has a machining travel capability of 158 x 98 x 39 inches.

Our CNC programming group turns VISI designs into machining programs, using feature recognition and automated programming.

When complex customized tool paths are required, its editing features give full control of the machining program.

All CNC programs are simulated before release to production, so problems are corrected without wasting material or machine time.

Synchronized engineering standards and our jig-plate set up system provide fast, accurate and repeatable loading and machining.

We are always testing new tooling, settings and processes to improve speed and accuracy and reduce costs.
