The Design and Simulation of the Hot Stamping Process for Producing a Nail-Skin Cuticle Nipper

This paper presents design and simulation of the hot stamping process for producing a nail-skin cuticle nipper. This tool belongs to a group of body care products, which have a high demand in society. So far, it has been manufactured by the use of conventional method. In this paper, 3D nipper model, die modelling and hot stamping simulation were performed successfully in the CAD/CAE program. Based on this, the optimal stamping parameters such as speed, force, temperature, etc. can be obtained. As a result of that, engineer can analyze all of steps in the design process of nipper, so that it is possible to predict a failure, to save cost of experimental test, to improve productivity. The obtained results are also valuable for producing of other useful product by mean of hot stamping process.
