Tool & Die Making Manufacturing
High‑precision tooling — progressive stamping dies, injection molds, jigs & fixtures for robust, repeatable production.
ISO 9001:2015

Overview
Pearson Manufacturing supports tool & die customers with precision hard tooling — fulfilled either in‑house or through our Canadian partner network. We deliver progressive dies, injection mold tools, and stamping fixtures using CNC machining, EDM, and tight‑tolerance finishing. From initial design through validation and refurbishment, we manage the complete lifecycle of high‑wear tooling systems.
⚠️ Hybrid fulfillment: not all tools are built on‑site — we leverage a mix of internal capabilities and trusted Canadian partners under Pearson QA.
Quick Specs
| Tool Type | Best For | Speed | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Progressive Die | High‑volume stampings with pierce/blank/form | Medium | Strip layout, punch‑to‑die clearances, wear surfaces |
| Injection Mold | Plastic parts with cosmetic/functional features | Medium | Gate/venting, draft, cooling, hardened inserts |
| Die Cast Tooling | Non‑ferrous castings (Al/Zn/Mg) | Medium | Thermal management, steel selection (H13), coatings |
| Refurb/Repair | Worn punches, chipped inserts, misalignment | Fast | EDM repair, regrind, replacement details, re‑qualify |
Capabilities We Provide Access To
- Progressive & transfer die design/build with strip development
- Injection mold tools: bases, cavities/cores, lifters, sliders, inserts
- EDM machining for punches, ribs, sharp corners & deep details
- Hard‑steel milling/turning (A2, D2, S7, H13, P20) and stainless
- Surface grinding, lapping, hand‑fit & benching for precision mates
- Heat treat coordination (vacuum harden, temper, nitriding) & coatings
- Tryout, process verification, and documentation on request
- Maintenance, repair, and refurbishment programs
Why Partner with Pearson?
- Durable hard tooling engineered for cycle life & repeatability
- Tight tolerances on critical shear/form/locating features
- Accelerated tooling timelines with hybrid routing
- Material & coating recommendations for wear/corrosion
- Lifecycle support: spares, repairs, and continuous improvement
Equipment Used In‑House or by Our Partners
We match your die complexity to the most suitable machines and heat‑treat facilities:
- 5‑axis CNC machining centres (hard‑steel capable)
- Wire EDM & sinker EDM systems with fine finish options
- High‑speed CNC for graphite/electrode & soft tooling
- Surface grinders, flat lapping & polishing benches
- Vacuum heat treat, nitriding, and PVD coating partners
- CMM inspection, optical comparators & profilometry
Design for Manufacturability (DFM)
- Include **GD&T** for cut/trim edges, punches, and locating datums; avoid “tight everywhere.”
- Target **clearances** appropriate to material thickness and hardness; specify burr direction.
- Provide **draft** on molded cores/cavities (typ. 1–3° cosmetic, more for texture).
- Call out **steel grades** (e.g., D2 for wear, S7 for shock, H13 for hot work) and **hardness ranges**.
- Design for **serviceability**: replaceable inserts, standard components, access for regrind.
- Share expected **throughput & material** early (tonnage, coil width, resin, filler) to size tooling.
We’ll review material, hardness, tolerances, venting/cooling (for molds), strip layout (for dies), and serviceability — and confirm achievable specs with the best routing (in‑house or partner) before kickoff.
Typical Applications
- Progressive dies for metal stamping lines
- Injection mold tools and multi‑cavity bases
- Die cast cores, inserts, sliders & ejector packs
- Blanking, forming, bending & draw tools
- Precision punches, shear inserts & stripper plates
- Tooling refurbishment, spares & engineering changes
Tool & Die FAQs
Do you make all tools in‑house?
Some tools are built at our Ontario shop; others route through certified Canadian partners. Pearson manages design, production, inspection, logistics, and QA end‑to‑end.
Do you offer tryout and validation?
Yes — we support die/mold tryout, process verification, and pre‑production runs as needed. Inspection reports available on request.
Can you refurbish or repair tooling?
Absolutely — we provide EDM repair, regrind, replacement punches/inserts, heat‑treat restoration, and re‑qualification.
