The design of auto body dies and dies is an ongoing activity as automobile manufacturers are constantly looking to improve their production processes to increase the efficiency and quality of their products. The design and development of high-precision dies and dies for auto body manufacturing is a critical and ongoing activity, as a number of factors such as tolerance, complex shapes and non-uniform geometries require advanced technologies and special expertise. The objective of the chosen theme is to make a hood according to the specifications. The design of the technological process is realized in Catia V5 and its simulation in Autoform. The technological process contains all the operations that each piece goes through from the semi-finished product to the final shape. Each operation is accompanied by the technical time norm. The landmark for which we realized the technological embossing process with the related time norm is the "Hood", which is an exterior part, with a complex, asymmetrical shape, which s part of the entire car body.
