Tool and Die Maker Jobs in Ontario

A Tool and Die Maker in the manufacturing industry is a professional who creates and repairs tools, dies, molds, jigs, and fixtures used in manufacturing processes. These experts play a crucial role in the production of goods, as they ensure that the machinery used for manufacturing is functioning correctly and efficiently. They utilize computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) to create designs and perform precision tooling. Additionally, they operate specialized measuring equipment, lathes, grinding machines, and milling machines to fabricate tools and parts.

Important skills for Tool and Die Makers include precision and attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and knowledge of metallurgy and materials science. They should have a strong understanding of CAD/CAM programs and the ability to interpret technical drawings. Typically, they should hold a diploma or certificate in tool and die making or a related field, and apprenticeship experience is often required. A professional certification from a recognized industry body, such as the National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS), can also be beneficial. Prior to becoming a Tool and Die Maker, an individual might have roles such as Machinist, Tool and Die Apprentice, or CNC Operator.
