Abstract: Stamping dies one of the essential industries in engineering. The sheet metal blanking procedure is a shearing operations. In the blanking procedure the sheet metal is detached from the bulky portion of stock through the application of shearing force on the sheet. Nowadays, the increase of gadgets and smart phone is because of the 4th industrial revolution. This situation leads the demand for micro parts that will include in electronic devices. The main problem occurred in sheet metal stamping is damage to the punch after running thousands of stamping process. This paper focuses on designing a micro blanking dieset that meet the industrial demand. The study is conducted using solidworks to design the micro blanking dieset and perform analysis using FEM. The result of FEA will be calculated using e-fatigue to get the lifecycle for the punch.
