Punching Services from 3Diligent

3Diligent's punching service includes punching-and some categories of boring-to create or enlarge holes in metal and other hard materials.

Punching Service Overview

Our punching service, as the name implies, is the process of punching a hole through a hard material with a tool and die made of tungsten carbide — or similarly tough metal. The hole can be punched by a machine or manually, though a machine offers superior force often needed to penetrate hard materials such as metal. Though circular dies for punching circular holes are common, other shapes are also available.

CNC punching machines are powered by hydraulic pressure that forces the punching tool onto and through the workpiece. Once penetrated, the material is removed and the hole is of the same shape and size as the die. Punching is a fast and cost-effective process.
