Tool and Die Maker


A tool and die maker fabricates, repairs and modifies custom-made prototypes and a wide variety of tools, jigs, fixtures, gauges and dies for use in industrial and manufacturing production. Jigs and fixtures are devices that hold work pieces while they are bored, stamped, milled or drilled. Dies are metal forms used to shape metal in stamping and forging operations. You can also train to be a CNC Machinist after you complete your Tool and Die Maker certification.
Tool and die makers are employed by aircraft, machinery and farm equipment manufacturers, machine shops and metal fabricator shops.
