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 using modern web technologies and designed specifically for how die engineers work today. There's nothing to install, nothing to update, and no legacy software to work around. Open a browser, launch the tool, and you're working.
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 Application
The DCT was designed from the start as a browser-based application — not a desktop program ported to the web. It runs on current web standards, works on any modern browser across Windows and Mac, and is always up to date. No IT involvement, no version conflicts, no waiting for installs. Just open it and start designing.
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.
