Method study & strip layout
Optimising the work sequence, studying stations for progressive and transfer dies, and designing strip layouts to minimise material scrap.
Die design · Sheet metal forming
Giving shape to sheet metal, die after die.
A technical studio specialised in sheet metal die design — progressive, transfer and block dies. From method study to complete production documentation.
Strip layout — progressive dieSOLIDWORKS
What we do
One technical partner, from method study to production drawings
We design dies and tooling for sheet metal work with method, attention to detail and a constant eye on production cost.
Die types
Progressive dies for production automation, transfer dies for maximum flexibility and block dies for construction simplicity.
Special machines & steelwork
Flanging machines, custom special-purpose machines, production-line automation and heavy or light steel fabrication.
2D technical drawings
Complete CAD documentation and detailing in DXF and DWG formats, ready for the toolroom and production.
BOM — bill of materials
Bills of materials with custom coding, compatible with the client's ERP for a frictionless handover to production.
Simulation support
Data preparation for forming simulation and connection with specialised studios to validate the design before construction.
How we work
From technical data to a production-ready die
01
Analysis & feasibility
Study of the part, the material and the best forming cycle.
02
Strip layout
Station sequence and layout to reduce material scrap.
03
3D design
Die modelling in SOLIDWORKS with specialised add-ins.
04
2D drawings & BOM
DXF/DWG detailing and coded bill of materials.
05
Production
Handover to construction, with simulation and supplier support.
Behind JD-Design
25 years in sheet metal, in a single point of contact
JD-Design is built on the experience of Jamal Eddine Dorbani, a designer with a quarter of a century of hands-on work in sheet metal forming.
A direct relationship between the person who designs and the people who build: no intermediaries, fast turnaround, and dies engineered to be efficient and easy to maintain.

The JD-Design ecosystem
Where design meets production
Lamier Industries grew out of JD-Design's success: a bridge between the people who design the die and the people who build it, with clear specifications and selected suppliers.
