Re: Keltool As a Stamping Die?

Mark and List:
We have had several jobs where 3D Keltool has been used as a stamping die
for copper. Other material will probably be too hard. But for some complex
shapes in copper sheet, 3D Keltool should work fine.

Please contact me to look at your specific application. Our staff has over
10 years experience with 3D Keltool and would be happy to investigate your job.

Sincerely,
