Cidonio Stampi: building sheet metal dies since 1969

History and profile

Our history

For over 55 years we have been designing and manufacturing dies, tooling for cold sheet metal stamping, precision machining and stamping. Over time the company has consolidated its position, playing a leading role and building on a strength that still…

• 1969The company is born from the passion of founder Filippo Cidonio, with very limited means but a wealth of experience and determination.
• 1999Award for 30 years in business, for its contribution to economic and social development.
• 2006“Premio Rosà che lavora”.
• 2013His children take over, with the same determination and a clear goal: quality and safety for the customer, by strengthening research and innovation.
• 2014Title of “Maestro Artigiano” (Master Craftsman) conferred by Confartigianato Vicenza.

Company profile: our strengths

“Our facility has a large production department, a technical office for design and a sales office able to examine customer requests, assess them and put forward proposals very quickly.” We can meet the most diverse requirements across a wide range…

Awards

In 1999 the company received the award for 30 years in business, standing out in the sector for its contribution to economic and social development.

Progressive, transfer and compound dies for sheet metal

Dies

Types of dies

We build transfer dies with gripper systems, progressive dies, dies with tapping units and compound dies for part assembly, as well as assembly fixtures.

Guaranteed durability and quality

Every die we build is delivered with guarantees of durability and of final product quality. 3D CAD design, certified steels, controlled heat treatments and testing with sample batches are the foundations of a die that stays reliable over time.

We design the ideal solution for your sheet metal

Attach 2D drawings or 3D models (PDF, STEP, IGES, DXF, DWG) and specify the material, thickness and annual volumes: we will assess feasibility and reply within 24 working hours.

• Feasibility study together with you
• Files used solely for technical assessment
• Direct contact with the engineers who design the die

Technical office: 3D CAD design of sheet metal dies

Design

The design stages

Our technical office is staffed by engineers with twenty years of experience. We divide the design work into clear, shared stages.

• Feasibility studyWe analyse the project together with the customer to identify the best solution and optimise costs…
• Pilot dieWhen needed, we build “pilot” pre-production dies to verify that the product is correctly produced in…
• 3D CAD designThree-dimensional design with state-of-the-art CAD software and virtual simulation of all die movements before construction.
• 3D CAM and data networkThe machining centres are programmed in 3D CAM from a dedicated workstation; the internal data network…
• Sampling and pre-seriesWe support production through to customer acceptance, with sampling and pre-series runs.

Focus: the pilot die

The pilot die service is designed to give the customer the assurance of a sound product in the critical construction stages, while maintaining precise tolerances in final stamping.

The job cycle

From enquiry to after-sales support: every die follows a defined path, with the technical study running in parallel with the commercial side.

Precision toolroom: CNC machine fleet and EDM

Toolroom

From 3D design to the machine, paper-free

Many years ago we introduced three-dimensional design, which allows a virtual simulation of all die movements before construction: this is how we build even highly complex dies.

The machine fleet

Maximum accuracy and precision in fits during assembly.

Bean Force: up to 10 times the force, from the bottom upwards

Cidonio innovation · Bean Force

What the Bean Force is

It is a device to be integrated into the die which, thanks to an innovative lever principle, multiplies the effort of an initial force (F1) supplied by a gas spring, a mechanical spring or an elastomer compression spring.

The real innovation

The multiplied force is developed in the opposite direction to the initial load force: in a blanking die mounted on a vertical press it therefore acts from the bottom upwards.

Not just dies: wherever a force needs multiplying

The Bean Force principle is not tied to the die: it can be used in any application where a force needs to be multiplied in a small space, starting from a spring or a small actuator.

ISO 9001:2015 certified quality: tested and traceable dies

Certifications

UNI EN ISO 9001:2015 quality system – TÜV SÜD

Cidonio Snc has completed the process to obtain UNI EN ISO 9001:2015 certification with the certification body TÜV SÜD.

How we guarantee die quality

Certified steels The steel we use is supplied by certified companies that provide technical documentation for every product: metallographic analyses, hardness tests and non-destructive ultrasonic testing.

• Dimensional inspectionDies are tested by measuring a sample batch of parts with dimensional inspection machines.
