The web is created after multiple components have been produced and is considered scrap material.
The control of the quality by the punch and die clearance the ability to produce holes of varying shapes quickly.

Forming dies were typically made by tool and die makers and put into production after mounting into a press the die was a metal block that was used for forming materials like sheet metal and plastic for the vacuum forming of plastic sheet only a single form was used typically to form transparent plastic containers called blister packs for merchandise.
Like molds dies are generally customized to the item they are used to create.
When put against a die the button pressed through the sheet metal.
When selecting metal sheet blanking clearances according to the technical requirements of the blanking parts the use characteristics and specific production conditions etc first determine the type of clearance to be adopted according to table 3 19 and then select this type gap value accordingly according to table 3 20.
Punched sheet metal therefore requires the same form as the die used.
The portion of the sheet metal which is punched through the die is the blank or the component.
