Engineered for absolute precision, the IDM Cutting Die is the industry standard for preparing high-quality tensile-impact specimens.
When evaluating how plastics behave under sudden, high-speed forces, sample perfection is critical.
The cutting die delivers flawless, burr-free cuts to ensure your structural data is driven by material performance, not specimen flaws.
Maximum Repeatability - Crafted from hardened, premium-grade tool steel, the die maintains its razor edge through rigorous laboratory use, ensuring reliable, repeatable test results every time.

We can also supply custom cutting dies on request. Simply send us the size and/or testing standard you are referring to and we will be happy to help.

Every cutting die is manufactured with extremely tight tolerances to ensure:
- Accurate sample dimensions
- Clean, burr-free cuts
- Consistent test results
- Reduced operator variation
This precision is critical for standards-based testing where even small sample inconsistencies can affect GSM, tensile, friction, bursting, or compression test results.
