Designed for specialized material evaluation, the IDM Cutting Die is the definitive laboratory tool for preparing precise rectangular tear and performance test specimens.
This heavy-duty tool steel die is specifically engineered to meet the strict structural tolerances required for testing both highly flexible cellular structures and resilient elastomeric compounds.
It ensures clean, micro-fracture-free edges across major global testing procedures, making it ideal for preparing rectangular specimens that strictly comply with international testing parameters.
Flawless Sample Integrity Crafted from premium hardened tool steel, our cutting die eliminates localized stress concentrations during the blanking process.
This guarantees true, highly repeatable test results for structural foam and elastomer performance analysis, delivering perfect rectangular cuts every time for standard-compliant laboratory assessments.

This guarantees true, highly repeatable test results for structural foam and elastomer performance analysis.
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.

Manufactured from premium hardened tool steel, IDM dies are designed for:
- Long service life
- Wear resistance
- Corrosion resistance
- Heavy laboratory use
Unlike lower-quality dies that dull quickly, IDM dies maintain cutting accuracy over many years of operation.
