These stamps determine the shape of the parts that eventually become the doors, hoods and sidewalls of cars or trucks. They are used in giant presses to form pieces of steel for example a door. As a toolmaker you do not only make new stamps for the latest car models. You also adapt stamps for spare parts of existing models. You learn to work very precisely, sometimes with an accuracy of 0.01 mm.
