Die Design & Programming Engineer

Company Description

SHARDA FORGING AND STAMPING PVT LTD is headquartered in Sahibabad, Ghaziabad and operates out of this facility. The company is engaged in manufacturing and stamping solutions, leveraging advanced technologies to deliver quality products. With a focus on precision and innovation, SHARDA FORGING AND STAMPING PVT LTD serves a diverse range of industries. The organization offers a collaborative and growth-oriented work environment for professionals.

Location: Sahibabad, Ghaziabad

Experience: 5+ Years (Forging/Tool & Die focus)

Tooling Environment: VMC, Hard Milling (45-55 HRC)

Software: SolidCAM (3D Milling/HSM) & Mastercam

Role Overview

We are looking for a specialist to design and program die blocks for our forging operations. This role requires a deep understanding of metal flow for both Hammer and Press dies and the technical expertise to machine these blocks on a VMC. You will be responsible for creating efficient, safe, and high-precision toolpaths for pre-hardened die steels without relying on automated machining wizards.

Key Responsibilities

Forging Engineering: Design die cavities with precise shrinkage allowances, draft angles, and flash/gutter configurations.

3D Programming: Develop complex 3D toolpaths in SolidCAM and Mastercam using HSM (High-Speed Machining) strategies (Trochoidal milling, constant engagement, etc.).

Hard Milling Mastery: Manage tool pressure and heat while machining hardened H13/L6 steel. Optimize step-overs and step-downs to ensure maximum tool life and surface finish.

Die Anatomy: Differentiate design approaches for Hammer dies (impact resistance/structural integrity) vs. Press dies (thermal management/ejection).

Required Skills

Expertise in SolidCAM 3D and Mastercam 3D.

Proven ability to program for hardened materials (48+ HRC) on a VMC.

Strong understanding of cut-depth control and chip thinning principles.

Ability to perform manual polishing reduction through superior CAM finish passes.
