Progressive cutting dies have a very important position on the series manufacture of the sheet metals by the method of no-turnings reproduction system. By using classical methods, the design of the dies and the choosing of the suitable die parts are generally time consuming and money spending for designer. In this study, we development a program based on 1 MB study in QBASIC program which can design strip layout. According to the data base, in addition to strip layout design, force analysis, force capacity of the press dies, gravity force center can be found. By making the design of not standard die parts, you can also choose the standard die parts. With this computer program for die design, you can get much more sensitive, enough flexible and fast results.
