Press shops, automotive and packaging
Punches, dies, cutting-tool components and machine parts for demanding industrial processes.
Toolmaking and precision metalworking
Engineering support for production — from initial concept to implementation.
We design, manufacture, inspect and regenerate tooling and precision components for companies seeking a reliable long-term technical partner.
Who we support
Technical capability for production and maintenance teams.
Maintenance and MRO
Repair of damaged punches, dies, tooling and machine components, including reconstruction without original documentation.
Design and implementation teams
One-off components, prototypes and short runs supported by design, material-selection and process expertise.
Manufacturing scope
From a precision component to a complete production tool.
Punches, dies and press tools
Progressive, multi-stage and transfer dies, press tools, die inserts, punches and working tool components.
Press tools and dies →
Machine components and short runs
Turning, milling, grinding, drilling and EDM for one-off components, prototypes and short production runs.
Machining services →
Custom production tooling
Gauges and locating, assembly, inspection and production fixtures designed for the specific workstation.
View completed work →Materials and accuracy
Parameters selected for component function.
Tool steels
NC11LV, NC10 and NMV, with other grades selected for tool loads and operating conditions.
Pre-hardened steels
Including 1.2311, 1.2312 and Toolox 44, depending on the requirements of the component.
Tolerances down to ±0.01 mm
For selected components and operations, subject to geometry, material, size and inspection method.
Engineering support
An engineering problem does not have to begin with a finished drawing.
You can approach us with an initial concept, a complete design, a partly manufactured component, a non-conforming part or an older tool requiring regeneration.
- tool design and engineering
- material selection and manufacturing process development
- hyperMILL, SOLIDWORKS and Edgecam
- STEP/STP, DWG and DXF files
- dimensional inspection and implementation support
Complete manufacturing documentation can be supplied as an additional paid service scope.

Tool regeneration and maintenance
Returning tooling to production and adapting it to change.
We repair cutting dies, press tools and straightforward moulds. Failure causes are investigated through visual inspection and measurement.
We accept tooling without documentation, reconstruct components from worn reference parts and modify tooling following product changes.
Tool repair and regenerationQuotation and delivery
Technical input from the beginning of cooperation.
Provide the data
Drawing or model, quantity, material, tolerances and required date.
Engineering review
Our engineering team assesses the enquiry. An initial response normally takes 1–3 working days.
Technical coordination
Our engineers agree changes directly using a suitable communication channel. NDAs are available on request.
Collection or delivery
Collection from our facility, delivery by Silma transport or courier shipment, as agreed.
Completed work
Production tooling and components manufactured by Silma Tools.
Production continuity support
Priority production support, available 24/7
Priority tool repair or urgent component manufacture, including outside standard operating hours.
The service is available to all customers after the scope and contractual conditions have been agreed. Under suitable conditions, completion may be possible within a few hours of notification; actual timing depends on the agreement, material availability and work scope.
Primary service area: Silesia and the surrounding region. A contract or agreed service plan must be in place in advance.

Technology and capacity
Matching each requirement to the right process and machine.
Simultaneous milling
Complex tooling and components machined from multiple sides on the Hurco VMX 42 SR.
CNC turning
Okuma GENOS L3000-e with Y axis and driven tooling.
Wire EDM
Wire-cut and sinker EDM for tooling components and hardened materials.
Deep-hole drilling
Specialised drilling on the Mitsui Seiki J6B coordinate drilling machine.
CMM inspection
Inspection of our work and standalone measurement services on the AXIOM TOO CNC.
Prototypes and short runs
Flexible combination of CNC, EDM, grinding and conventional machining.
Hard-material milling
5-axis Hurco machining with HAIMER shrink-fit toolholding
A core toolroom capability for simultaneous milling of complex components, including materials hardened up to 65 HRC.
- full simultaneous 5-axis machining
- materials hardened up to 65 HRC
- rigid and repeatable toolholding
- low-runout HAIMER shrink-fit holders
In-house heat treatment
Through-hardening without outsourcing most components
Our heat-treatment furnaces support our own production. Most components requiring through-hardening are heat-treated in-house.
This reduces inter-facility transport, supports shorter lead times and helps control total process cost. The heat-treatment process is selected for the material, geometry and component requirements.
Confirmed capacity
Through-hardening
- furnace working space: 800 × 400 × 400 mm
- maximum charge weight: 18 kg
- process used for Silma manufacturing projects
FAQ
Before your first enquiry
Can you manufacture a one-off component or prototype?
Yes. We manufacture one-off components, prototypes and short production runs. Feasibility is assessed from the documentation, material, tolerances and required delivery date.
Can you repair tooling manufactured by another supplier or tooling without documentation?
Yes. We can begin with inspection and measurement of the tool, worn component or reference part. We also reconstruct components and modify tooling following product changes.
What information is required for a quotation?
Ideally, provide a drawing or model, quantity, material, tolerances and required delivery date. We accept STEP/STP, DWG and DXF files.
How long does an initial response take?
An initial response normally takes 1–3 working days. Each enquiry is reviewed by our engineering team.
Does Silma sign NDAs?
Yes. We can sign a non-disclosure agreement before complete project documentation is shared.
What is 24/7 priority production support?
It is a contract-based service providing priority tool repair or urgent component manufacture, including outside standard operating hours. It is available to all customers after the conditions have been agreed.
Do you have documentation or a technical problem?
