Designing drawing dies by hand is slow, and getting the geometry right the first time is rarely guaranteed. The Die Configuration Tool (DCT) gives you instant visual feedback on every parameter so you can explore more options, make confident decisions, and get to production faster.
The DCT is a completely new application — built from the ground up for how die engineers work today. Use it right in your browser with nothing to install, or download the native DCT app for iPhone and iPad from the App Store. Either way, you're always working with the latest version — open it and start designing.
Save Time
What used to take hours of hand calculations now takes minutes. Explore hundreds of die geometry combinations interactively and find the optimal configuration before a single die is manufactured.
Save Money
Nib Assist™ automatically aligns your die geometry to standard nib heights — eliminating the need for costly custom nibs and casings without sacrificing design flexibility.
Web & iOS App
DCT runs on current web standards in any modern browser across Windows and Mac — always up to date, no IT involvement, no installs. Prefer a native experience? The DCT app for iPhone and iPad is available on the App Store, fully in sync with the web app.
Visual Design Process
See exactly how incoming stock contacts the nib surface as you adjust bearing length, approach angle, nib shape, and finish size. Uncertainty is replaced with a clear visual picture of your die's behavior before it's ever manufactured.
