Wire Die Materials & Design

Incoming Material Inspections | Where optimum die performance begins. FWWD thoroughly examines every single crystal natural diamond stone—selecting for shape, clarity and freedom from internal defects—and specifies all its synthetic diamonds from suppliers who lead the world in quality.

Die Design | FWWD metallurgists, process development engineers, and mechanical and electrical engineers collaborate to analyze your application parameters—your wire material, drawing speed, hole size tolerances and so forth. Then, using advanced proprietary and CAD software, they develop a die model designed to precisely meet those parameters.
