In this paper work a progressive press tool is designed using logopress 3 die design software for a part called receiver body which is produced in Gafat armament industry. But, in modern technology a progressive dies are used in which all the operations are integrated in one progressive press tool and all the operations are done successively. In the existing metal stamping process of our country’s metal industries large press machines are used with separate single operation press tools. These paper work asses the loss in the existing manufacturing process and provides a better way which conforms to the modern technology. This results in larger loss in material, economy and machines. Currently sheet metal stamping process is practiced in Ethiopian metal industries in large amount but, mostly they use the technology which has been introduced to the companies 50 years back.

Metal stamping is a sheet metal manufacturing process in which products are made using press machine and press tools.
