Muthig Industries Inc. includes a tool and die shop. Located in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, Muthig Industries is a veteran owned company. The Wisconsin tool and die shop of Muthig Industries has an experienced staff and the equipment desired to design and produce the highest quality products. Starting with our CAD design center, our Tool and Die department follows through with tooling design, development and tryout, then on to production, maintenance and repair. We use the latest technology from our Wire EDM machining to our CNC machining centers to eliminate human error while assuring a high degree of part repeatability, accuracy and time savings.

Our fully capable tool and die room specialized in manufacturing and maintaining precision progressive dies. Depending on the customer's requirements, we can also design and build a compound die that will run in a master die set, thus reducing cost and lead time. Thanks to years of combined experience in building progressive dies, jigs and fixtures, our journeymen toolmakers emphasize old-world craftsmanship and attention to detail with new production technology.

Muthig Industries, in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin proudly utilizes LaserQC technology that is able to reverse engineer a flat blank part as big as 60"x90". What does this mean for our tool and die customers? The reverse engineering capabilities we have with this technology allow us to to take an existing part that does not have a CAD file scan the complete profile using the LaserQC. We are also able to store the data in a CAD compatible .dxf file. This eliminates the need for time consuming hand measurements and CAD programming. Muthig can provide Tool and Die services faster and more reliably because of this.

We offer a full range of tool and die machining capabilities from engineering and building intricate, progressive dies, to turning a shaft and cutting a key-way. Our personnel and equipment ensure quick turnaround to meet deadlines for new products or die repairs and maintenance.

Pierce, Cut-Off and Form Dies

These dies are used when material can be run from a coil that is slit to the width of the part. As it is fed thru the die it can have holes, slots or other cut-outs punched in the material then it is progressed by a feeder and cut-off or cut-off and formed. Many times the part is finished but it can also be taken to another press and additional tooling used to have other operations done.

Compound Dies

Compound dies are single hit dies that punch or punch and form various types of material to produce a finished part in one hit. The cost of these dies varies depending on the size and complexity of the part. A compound flat washer die would be the least expensive and a drawn or intricate shaped part with many holes would be more expensive.

Progressive Dies

A progressive die uses multiple stations that combine punching and forming to produce a finished part. Generally these dies are able to produce a finished part quickly and most economically. This type is the most expensive to make, but because it is able to produce high volume parts at a low cost, the pay back is almost immediate.
